From the forest
Derived from the Latin word 'silva', meaning wood or forest. In Roman mythology, Rhea Silvia was the mother of the twins Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. It has been a classic name in Italy and Spain for centuries and remains a sophisticated alternative to the more common Sylvia.
