Lyviniah is in Origin.

Lyviniah is a modern, inventive elaboration that most closely relates to Lavinia, the Latin-rooted name borne by the bride of Aeneas in Virgil's Aeneid. Through that link, its sense is often taken as "of Lavinium," the ancient town associated with the mythic heroine; the precise Latin etymology is uncertain. The -iah ending echoes the biblical theophoric suffix found in names like Jeremiah and Josiah, which may explain the spelling's appeal. Though sometimes conflated with Livia (from the Roman family name Livius, "bluish"), Lyviniah follows the Lavinia line.

Usage of Lyviniah appears in recent English-language records, while Lavinia enjoyed steady presence in Britain and America in the 18th-19th centuries, aided by Shakespearean and Victorian tastes. Variants and near-forms include Lyvinia, Livinia, Luvinia, Lavinia, and Lavina; diminutives span Livi/Lyvi, Vina, Vinia, and Nia. Internationally, Lavinia remains common in Italy and Romania.
