An uncommon Latin pick — distinctive and rare.
Titus Livius, a Roman historian
Livy is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, a cheerful nickname form of Olivia or Livia. It also echoes the great Roman historian Titus Livius (known in English as Livy), giving it an unexpected scholarly connection.
Light, warm, and friendly, Livy works beautifully as both a standalone name and a nickname for the perennially popular Olivia.
Livy climbed 12336 spots in the last 20 years — from #15281 to #2945.
