Avelina

Avelina is a feminine name whose meaning remains a mystery to this day. Avelina derives from the Germanic Avila, which is of unknown meaning but is sometimes chosen in honor of the 16th-century Saint Teresa of Ávila. Avelina also has Latin roots as a variant of Avelino and derives from Abellinum, yet this origin also leaves us mystified with an elusive definition. Avelina may be given in honor of the 16th-century Italian Saint Andrea Avellino. Despite its unknown meaning, Avelina thrives as a lyrical choice in Scandinavian languages, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
