Around the globe, Avi (Avi 
, אבי , افي 
, and others...) is a common epicene given name. The first name Avi is characteristic of Mauritius, where it is quite a common primarily masculine, but scarcely female name, Grenada, where it is quite a common feminine name, and Israel, where it is quite a common boy's name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is the most numerous in India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Very seldom, Avi is the last name as well as the forename.
