Meaning & Origins
Modern use of this as both a boy's and a girl's name derives from a transferred use of an English surname, from the Norman female name Aveline, an elaborated form of Ava. At present it is used more frequently as a girl's name, and is also found as a variant Anglicization of Irish Éibhleann or Aibhilín (see also Evlin).

English and Scottish: occupational name for a tailor, from Old French tailleur (Late Latin taliator, from taliare ‘to cut’). The surname is extremely common in Britain and Ireland, and its numbers have been swelled by its adoption as an Americanized form of the numerous equivalent European names, most of which are also very common among Ashkenazic Jews, for example Schneider, Szabó, and Portnov.
