Unknown; likely a modern American elaboration of Octavius
Latavius is a modern American name, likely created by combining the popular 'La-' prefix with the Latin name Octavius. While Octavius means 'eighth', Latavius is generally chosen for its rhythmic sound rather than a specific historical meaning. It gained some visibility in the early 21st century due to professional athletes.
