Comments (Meaning / History Only)

The meaning is slightly off — this name means “my father is dew.” Not sure where ‘night’ comes from! In Hebrew, av = father, the suffix “ee” is possessive (so avi = my father), and tal = dew. [noted -ed]
The meaning "my father is the night dew" refers to G-d as the sustainer. Thus this names meaning is sometimes written as "G-d sustains me".
