Help[Facts] Re: Is Aveline A Pagan Name?
in reply to a message by Lapin
What do you mean with pagan?
The description traces the name to the Normans that were already christianised, so it can be said that this is a Christian given name. On the other hand, it is traced to Ancient Germanic and may have had pre-Christian use and may be pagan in this sense.
I have no information of specific name use among modern neopagan groups and cannot say whether Avalina is specifically popular among them.

As far as I'm aware, Pagan names are similar to hippie names in that many of them are nature-based.
Aveline fits that bill, according to some nature sites;
