Maclovia is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the male name Maclovius. This name was borne by early Christian martyrs, including Saint Maclovius, who was beheaded during the reign of Emperor Decius in the 3rd century. The name means "glorious in battle" or "famous warrior," suggesting strength and valor. It is composed of two elements: 'maclus,' meaning "warlike" or "bold," and 'via,' meaning "way" or "road." Maclovia is a name that stands out due to its rarity, offering a compelling choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful moniker for their daughter.
Maclovia experienced peak popularity between 1917 and 1919, with a high of 9 births in 1919. However, its usage has been quite inconsistent throughout the century, with no more than 9 births recorded in any given year after 1925.
