Origin and meaning of Ottavio
Ottavio comes from the Latin Octavius, a Roman family name linked to octavus, 'eighth': it originally marked the eighth child of a family. It has a classical, patrician flavour, tied to Republican and Imperial Rome. In Italian it is a traditional and fairly rare men's name, elegant and old-fashioned; in the forms Octavio and Octave it appears in the Spanish- and French-speaking worlds.
