History & Origin
Shatavia pairs the fashionable Sha- opening with -tavia, lifted from Octavia, the Latin name meaning 'the eighth'. The result is a flowing coinage typical of late-twentieth-century invented names.
It stayed rare, cresting in the early nineteen-nineties at just a few dozen a year and fading afterward; it reads as a made-name of its generation, and a bearer today is likely in her thirties.
