The name Flavia is a girl's name of Latin origin meaning "golden, blond". Flavia and is often added to lists like Unique Girl Names: Unusual and Rare and discussed in our forums with posts like "Drop your least favourite!".

From the experts:

An ancient Roman clan name, Flavia is one choice that's unusual but historic. Now a Top 60 name in Italy, Flavia has been a rarity in the US, but with the upswing in F names for girls, this could change. Seen more in literature than real life, Flavia was used as far back as an1580 romance, then in a William Dean Howells novel and as a Princess in The Prisoner of Zenda. Although the original pronunciation is FLAH-via, Flavie (as in flavor) could make a cute nickname.

It's my name... I like it but the funny thing is that I’m brunette... And I also think that this name evokes a totally “ginger / reddish” sensation...
