Baby Boy Name 'Avi' - Need Suggestion

[bmonu9]

Hello Friends,

I need your valuable suggestion to decide the name 'Avi' for my son. The meaning of this name is (THE SUN AND AIR; HONEST) in Hindi. We are from India (Hindu) and our son is a US-born. I looked into multiple forums and found that it's a multicultural name. I found many popular/successful personalities with this name. www.babynamesdirect.com/boy/avi
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avi#:~:text=Avi%20is%20a%20given%20name,Newbery%20award%2Dwinning%20American%20author

1. It looks like it's a unisex name with more than 95% boys. Should we proceed with this name for my son?
2. Is this name okay to go with for a non-Jewish boy as well?
3. Is there any negative meaning/impact of this name in any origin like in Australia - it shows girl name with themeaningbird.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

It might sound like the Spanish Javi for Javier (the J is silent).

Actually ignore me, the J is sounded H so it's more Havi, so shouldn't cause confusion. Congratulations.

Perfectly OK. Makes me think of Pentatonic but Avinash is a well known Indian name as well so can't see Avi being an issue.

OP if Avi is from your culture and you like it, then that's brilliant.

But please don't believe what you read on baby name websites - most of them are completely without any real life or academic justification.

For the UK, the most scholarly and reliable place to check names and meanings is here:

I really like it.

More suggestions, please?
