Octavia Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A female name. Latin f. of Octavius (q.v.).

The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe

OCTAVIUS. In Latin, ‘the eighth (daughter,’ ‘son,’ respectively). Some presumed Octavius founded the gens Octavia (Octavian clan); an Octavius married the sister of Julius Caesar, and their son Octavianus became the emperor Augustus; the Emperor’s sister was Octavia, the second wife of Mark Antony: their joint renown firmly establish both names, which have, in common with most lengthy Latinities, been rarely bestowed since ca. 1880. Cf. Septimus.

Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge

Latin (feminine) - the number eight.

What is Your Name? (1863) by Sophy Moody

A Latin name, meaning: The eighth.
