This name was used before Ava went haywire so the comparison needs to stop. It’s an elaborated version of Avi which is a males name sometimes given to females too. Adding Anna makes it a feminine version of Avi not Ava. Avianna doesn’t even sound like Ava. Avi is a Hebrew name, a form of Abraham. Abraham means “many, a multitude, my Father and Father of multitudes.” Anna also in Hebrew means grace and favor. What a nice meaning “Father of multitudes, grace and favor.”.
