Ava
Ava Gardner was a popular and famous star, so it’s clear why her name became the top choice for newborn baby girls in that time period. It’s the derivative of “Eva” and is related to “avis,” a Latin word meaning bird.
Joyce
Joyce is a name that comes from “joise,” a Middle English word that translates to “rejoice” in modern times. It technically originated with Saint Joyce, though he was a Breton prince and the son of the King of Brittany (Judicael).
