Octavius
Octavius ♂ From the Roman family name, derived from Latin
octavus ‘eighth’. The name is recorded from the 16th century and was fairly frequently given to a male eighth child (or the eighth son), particularly in large Victorian families (compare
Quintus,
Sextus,
Septimus, and
Nona). It is much less common these days, when families rarely extend to eight children, but is occasionally selected for reasons of family tradition or for some other reason without regard to its original meaning.
