Etimoloji
Possibly from early northwest Semitic dialectal name meaning "where is the father?" from אַי (ʾay, “where”) and אוֹבּ (ʾôb, “father”), dialectal variant of אב ('áv, “father”). Or, akin to אויב (oyév, “enemy”). Some biblical scholars have suggested that it is related to Arabic أَوَّاب (ʔawwāb, “returning”), from the root ء و ب (ʔ w b).
