Genesis 36:35 names it as the city of the Edomite king Hadad (הֲדַד) son of Bedad (בְּדַד), who defeated the Beney Midyan in Mo-Av.
However, Avit means "ruins", so we can presume that this was a description of the left-overs, rather than the original name of the place.
The same applies to the city of Ai.
