Octavous Origin and Meaning

The name Octavous is a boy's name.

Octavous is a masculine name derived from the Latin 'octavus,' meaning 'eighth.' This variation of the more common Octavius carries the same classical Roman heritage, traditionally given to the eighth child born to a family or a child born in the eighth month. The name has imperial associations through Emperor Augustus, who was born Octavius. With its distinctive spelling and classical roots, Octavous projects strength and historical gravitas. Though rare in contemporary usage, it appeals to parents drawn to ancient Roman naming traditions with a slightly modernized presentation. The name's melodic quality and unusual ending create a memorable impression while maintaining connections to classical antiquity and numerical significance.
