AVIS. Ferguson
thinks it is an extended form of the Teutonic stem av
(Goth. àvo), meaning "ancestor." (Surnames as a
Science, Ferguson, 1883). It is probably the same as Avice
(q.v.), a form of
Gothic Avagisa (q.v.), meaning "ancestor-hostage."
Also
spelled Aviz.
Miss "Avis" Webster,
sister of Sir Richard Webster, M.P., lives, and is I trust in good
health. HIC ET UBIQUE (Notes and Queries, v.11, 1897)
