Liviah
Meaning of Liviah
Liviah is a feminine given name with roots in the Latin Livia, itself derived from the adjective lividus, meaning “bluish,” and often considered a modern variant of Olivia in Anglo-American usage. Phonetically rendered as /ˈlɪviə/ and stressed on the first syllable, Liviah preserves classical resonance while the added “h” offers a subtle orthographic distinction. In the United States, its annual occurrence has ranged from six to twenty-one newborns between 2007 and 2022, placing it consistently between ranks 937 and 980—a profile that underscores both its rarity and steady appeal. Technically, this pattern reflects parents’ analytical preference for names that balance tradition with uniqueness. Despite its modest numbers, Liviah has seldom produced more than two or three bearers in a single elementary-school classroom, a dry testament to its uncommon yet accessible character.
