Modern invented name, likely blending Kenneth and Octavius.
Kentavius is a contemporary American coinage. It typically combines the prefix 'Ken-' (from Kenneth, meaning 'born of fire' or 'handsome') with the suffix '-tavius' (derived from the Latin Octavius, meaning 'eighth'). It follows a pattern of rhythmic, multi-syllabic names popular in the late 20th century.
