Avalon

Avalon is a name derived from the legendary island of Avalon, which is featured prominently in the Arthurian legend. According to the legend, Avalon was a paradise-like island where King Arthur was taken after being wounded in battle.

The name Avalon is said to be derived from the Welsh word 'afal,' meaning 'apple,' and the Brythonic word 'avallōn,' meaning 'apple tree.' This association with apples and orchards has led to the belief that Avalon was a place of great fertility and abundance.

While the exact location of the mythical Avalon is unknown, it has been associated with various places in Britain, including Glastonbury in Somerset, where there is a famous Glastonbury Tor and Abbey.

In recent times, the name Avalon has become popular as a feminine given name, likely due to its ethereal, mystical, and nature-inspired qualities.
