Luvinia, of Latin origin, is an enchanting and uncommon feminine given name. It derives from the Roman family name 'Luvenius', which is believed to be derived from the Latin word 'lubens', meaning 'happy' or 'joyful'. This delightful name consists of three distinct sounds: /loo/, /vee/, and /nee/. In some cultures, Luvinia may be associated with the adjective 'luminous', as it possesses a certain radiance and uniqueness. Although not widely used today, this name has a timeless elegance and could make for an intriguing choice for parents seeking a distinctive moniker.
The name Luvinia saw a peak in popularity during the early 20th century, with years like 1900 (15 births) and 1918 (13 births) recording notably high numbers of newborns named Luvinia. However, by the mid-20th century, its usage had significantly declined, with consistent totals ranging from 5 to 6 births per year between 1927 and 1986, inclusive. In total, over a span of nearly nine decades (1893-1986), Luvinia was given to 237 newborns.
