Meaning and history
Generally explained as the feminine form of Avelino, honoring the 16th-century Italian saint Andrea Avellino, though it is also linked to the Germanic Aveline and Evelyn as a diminutive of Avila. It spread through medieval Europe after the Norman Conquest of 1066 and remains in use across Italy, Spain, and Scandinavia. Mexican bolero singer Avelina Landín (1919-1991) is a notable bearer.
