Bardsley, Dictionary of English and WelshSurnames (pub. 1901) speaks of it as just coming into fashion again after two centuries of neglect, but a writer in Notes and Queries at about the same time (1872) says: 'Avise, if it is the same as Avis, is certainly not obsolete, for I have known more than one.’ The surnames Aves, Avis, Avison are derived from it.
