About Fulvia

Derived from the Latin fulvus this name has been poetically associated with shades of gold, bronze, and yellow, along with the color of a lion's fur and an eagle's feathers. It was borne by the wife of Mark Antony (not Marc Anthony) in ancient Rome, though in an English speaking context, it may sound a tad too anatomical for a modern girl.

It has however been used in Spanish and Italian speaking countries, worn by writer Fulvia Miani Perotti, and politician Fulvia Michela Caligiuri. It was also used by Suzanne Collins for a character in The Hunger Games novels.

Pronounced FUL-vee-ah.
