Origin and meaning of Livia
Livia is the feminine of the Roman family name Livius, often linked to the Latin lividus, 'bluish.' Its prestige rests on Livia Drusilla, wife of the emperor Augustus and a central figure of imperial Rome. A classical, refined name, it has come strongly back into fashion in Italy in recent decades, and is also found in Romania, Brazil and Germany. Its short, clear sound makes it an elegant, current choice.
