Octavo Origin and Meaning

The name Octavo is a boy's name.

Octavo is a masculine name with Latin origins, derived from the Latin word 'octavus' meaning 'eighth.' Historically, the name was often given to the eighth child born in a family or to a child born in the eighth month of the year. While relatively uncommon as a first name in most cultures, Octavo carries a distinguished and scholarly tone, perhaps due to its association with the octavo book format (a page size created by folding a sheet into eight leaves). The name has musical connotations as well, as 'octave' represents a complete musical interval. With its distinctive 'o' sounds and Latin heritage, Octavo provides a unique alternative to more common eighth-position names like Octavius or Octavian.
