History & Origin

Octavya respells Octavia, the feminine of the Roman name Octavius, from Latin octavus, 'eighth' — the Romans often numbered their children. Octavia, sister of Augustus, carried the name into history; in modern times it has been borne by writers and artists. The -ya spelling is a recent touch (said 'ok-TAY-vee-uh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Very rare, classical, and strong.
