Zavius is an unusual yet appealing given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Sabinus.' It is believed to have been borne by several early saints and martyrs in the Christian era, which has contributed to its historical significance. Today, Zavius remains a rare choice for a first name, perhaps due to its unique pronunciation and spelling. Despite its rarity, it carries a certain charm and intrigue, making it an attractive option for those seeking an extraordinary name.
Zavius saw a notable increase in popularity between 1994 and 2002, with seven births recorded that year. However, it appears to have maintained a steady but low level of usage since then, with five births each in 2006 and 2020. In total, there were twenty-two babies named Zavius over these years.
