Aviv is also Abib, the first Jewish month in contrast to Babylon's Nisan. Every indication is that at Exodus Nisan and Abib was not the same. Nisan was in Pamenot (Julian March /Gregorian February) and Abib was the next lunar month (Julian April / Gregorian March). Many words in Hebrew are spelt both ways with a V or B like Avraham. The city of Tel Aviv is said to mean Mountain or hill of spring, though other sources say Aviv is not just spring, it is the barley ear of corn before it dries out.
