Our story of Avamarie
The Ann-compound gave way to the Marie-compound and then to the Grace-compound, and each generation's second element tells you something. Marie as a second half is French, Catholic and mid-century in American use — Annmarie, Rosemarie, Jomarie, Lisamarie. Its return in the 2010s attached to Ava, which was the American number one girls' name in those years. What makes this particular pairing distinctive is the accident: Ava Marie said at speed is very close to Ave Maria, and for a Catholic family that may be the whole point, while for another family it may never have occurred. The record cannot say. Its 2016 peak sits at the height of Ava's own run.
Meaningscholars disagree
Contested, joined to a contested Mary element
Ava's origin is genuinely unsettled — a Germanic element of unknown meaning, a short form of names beginning Av-, a form of Eve, and Latin avis, a bird, have all been proposed. Marie is the French form of Mary, from Hebrew Miryām, whose meaning is also unsettled. The compound has no meaning beyond the two names. The resemblance to Latin ave, hail, is a coincidence of sound.
