Tavius

Meaning of Tavius

The masculine name Tavius, pronounced TAY-vee-us (/ˈteɪ.vi.əs/), is a contemporary offshoot of the classical Latin Octavius, originally meaning “eighth.” Social Security records show that since the mid-1970s annual births have remained under twenty—most often under ten—positioning the name between ranks 650 and 900 in popularity. This steady yet modest usage underscores its appeal to parents seeking a name that balances historical depth with modern brevity. With its three-syllable cadence and subtle strength, Tavius projects quiet authority rooted in Roman tradition. It offers a distinctive alternative that bridges familiar heritage and individual distinction, making it both approachable and resonant.
