The etymology of the word "Aveneil" is derived from Old English and Old French.
The first part of the name, "Ave", comes from the Old English word "āh" or "ēa", which means "water" or "river".
The second part of the name, "neil", stems from the Old French word "nyel", "neel", or "niel", referring to a type of wheel or a hub. This French word ultimately comes from the Latin word "nēlum" or "nīlus", meaning "a wheel" or "a waterwheel".
