🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 Avonlea
/AV · un · lee/
Meaning
“Possibly river and woodland”
Invented by author L. M. Montgomery as the name of the fictional Prince Edward Island village in her 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables. Its inspiration is uncertain: it may echo the Arthurian island of Avalon, or it may combine the river name Avon (a Welsh word for 'river') with the Old English word 'leah', meaning 'woodland, clearing'; read together, roughly 'river by a field'.
