Octavia
Female
Octavia is a name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Octavius. It means 'eighth' and has strong historical connections to Roman emperors like Octavian (Augustus). Although historically feminine, it's recently seen a rise in popularity and can be considered gender-neutral in some circles.
The name Octavia carries a sense of strength and history. Its less common usage makes it a distinctive choice, setting it apart from more popular names. The connection to Roman history adds a touch of grandeur and sophistication.
