Flavian, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name. Derived from 'Flavius,' which was originally a Roman gens (clan) name, Flavian is a variant form used primarily in France and France's former colonies. It has been associated with historical figures like Emperor Vespasian, also known as Titus Flavius Vespasianus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 69 to 79 AD.
Flavian has seen a peak in popularity during the year 1924 with 10 births, while other years have had either 5 births or none at all (implied by the total given).
