Octivia Origin and Meaning

The name Octivia is a girl's name.

Octivia is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Octavia, which has Latin origins meaning 'eighth.' In ancient Rome, Octavia was traditionally given to the eighth child born to a family or to a child born in the eighth month. This alternate spelling with an 'i' instead of an 'a' gives the name a slightly more contemporary or unique feel while maintaining its classical roots. Octavia has historical significance as the name of Emperor Augustus's sister in ancient Rome, lending the name an air of nobility. While Octavia has maintained modest usage throughout the years, Octivia remains extremely rare. The name carries a graceful, dignified quality with its classical associations and melodic sound.
