Martravious is of African-American origin, meaning 'to increase or raise'. It gained prominence in the United States during the late 20th century, reflecting a trend towards unique and personalized names. The name consists of two elements: 'Mart-' from Latin martyr, signifying witness to faith, and '-ravious' derived from French ravissant, meaning charming or captivating.
"The name Martravious experienced a rise in popularity between 1998 and 1999, with seven births recorded in the latter year compared to six in the former. After a dip in 2000, it regained some traction in 2001, once again reaching six births. However, there was another significant drop in usage over the following decade, as only five Martravious were born in 2011."
