History & Origin
Artavia is a coinage that joins an Ar- opening to the -tavia ending of Octavia, from Latin octavus, 'eighth,' once given to an eighth-born child. It sits beside Latavia as a rhyming invention. Artavia appears in United States records from around 1968 and reached a small high around 1989. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Artavia then would be in her thirties now. The name reads as a graceful, four-beat coinage with a classical echo; it has not revived but its Octavia-like flow keeps it elegant.
