Avit (Russian: Ави́т) is a Russian male first name.[1] It was included into various, often handwritten, church calendars throughout the 17th–19th centuries, but was omitted from the official Synodal Menologium at the end of the 19th century.[2] It is derived from the Latin family name Avitus (lit. ancient, ancestral, inherited).[1]
