Flavia Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. f. of Latin Flavius ‘yellow’, the name of a Roman gens.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Latin fiavus, like fulvus, means ‘yellow’ (noun), the former being the lighter in hue, fulvus denoting a tawny colour. The adjective is flavius: and, curiously enough, the Romans had both a Flavian and a Fulvian gens or clan. The former gens rose, in C1 A. D., to the throne with Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. Like Flavian, Flavia is now but rarely heard as English, or American, font-names.
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
Latin (feminine) - Yellow-haired.
— What is Your Name? (1863) by Sophy Moody
A Latin name, meaning: Blonde girl.
