History & Origin
Octayvia is a modern, sound-it-out respelling of Octavia, from the Latin octavus, 'eighth'. The Romans used Octavius as a family name, and Octavia — the noble and much-admired sister of the Emperor Augustus — carried its feminine form into history. The name later became a favourite of Victorian parents naming an eighth child. The respelling is contemporary; the meaning stays put (said 'ok-TAY-vee-uh').
The Octayvia spelling appears only rarely, while Octavia is well used. Rare spelling, classical name.
