Dartavius is an unusual and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from combining elements from two sources. The first part, 'Darta', is thought to be a variant spelling of the Latin word 'darts', meaning 'speed' or 'swift'. The second part, 'Vius', is likely influenced by the Roman family name 'Vitius', which is believed to have meant 'life' or 'lively'. Thus, Dartavius can be interpreted as signifying swiftness or vivacity. Its rarity lends it a unique and memorable quality.
Dartavius saw a notable dip in newborns between 2001 and 2005, with the annual birth count dropping from 6 to 5. However, over this ten-year span (1995-2005), there were a total of 17 babies named Dartavius.
