History & Origin

Latavious shows the late-century flair for grand, multi-syllable boys' names, adding a La- opening to Octavious. Through that Roman parent it reaches the Latin octavus, 'eighth,' lending Latavious an unexpectedly classical undertone.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 2001. As a coinage it carries the 'eighth' sense of Octavius faintly, through its -tavious ending, rather than as a literal claim.

Did you know? A boy named Latavious around its peak in 2001 is still young, born when La- and De- prefixes joined classical -avius endings to make strong new names.
