I believe 'Avon' means 'river'...which makes sense 'cos it is one. I'd guess that the name Evan could be related. But as for the origin, I'm not certain, sorry. It could even be Pictish, I've no idea.
Cheers,
Gav

Evan is the Welsh variant of the English name John. (Ryan is the Irish, Ian is the Scottish.)I have come across the name Aeven in Irish mythology -- perhaps Aven is related?Variants of Evan include Ewan and Euan.
