Though you might think it's missing one, we can confirm that the feminine name Otavia's six letters are fully accounted for. It joins Ottavia as a Swiss and Italian variant of Octavia, a Latin and Roman title associated with a certain infinity-shaped number. Deriving from the Latin word octavus, Otavia means "eighth," a definition that could remind your tiny tot of their birth date, month, or even their place in the family! The number eight also holds much spiritual and symbolic significance, often representing balance, luck, and new beginnings. While your kiddo won't quite share their name with American actress Octavia Spencer, they can still consider it Hollywood-inspired. When sweet Otavia learns to count, don't be surprised if the number eight becomes the new ten.
