Otavia, of Latin origin, is derived from the feminine form of Otis. It was introduced by the Roman poet Virgil in his epic work "The Aeneid," where he used it to personify a nymph in one of the poem's episodes. In its essence, Otavia signifies "of the hill," with "avis" being Latin for "hill." This name has not been widely popular throughout history but holds intrigue due to its literary roots and unique sound. It is often associated with rarity and individuality.
"Otavia saw its popularity rise slightly over this period, with a notable gap between 1985 and 1991, followed by another spike in 2002, resulting in a total of 17 babies named Otavia being born during these years."
