Follower of Artos or noble eagle
Artavis is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the prefix 'Ar-' (from names like Arthur or Artemis) with the suffix '-tavis' (as seen in Octavis or Gustavus). While it lacks a singular ancient root, it carries the 'Ar-' element often associated with the Celtic word for bear or the Germanic word for eagle. It is most frequently used within African American communities as a distinctive, rhythmic choice.
