Octa Octha is Latin in Origin.

Octa/Octha is an early medieval Germanic name recorded in British sources as a Saxon leader, described as a son or kinsman of Hengist. It appears in the ninth-century Historia Brittonum and in Geoffrey of Monmouth, linked with settlement in northern Britain. The name never became common in England and survives mainly in chronicle tradition, making it a rare, historically flavored choice today.

Its exact etymology is debated. Some scholars connect Octa (also spelled Octha or Ohta) with an Old English or Old Saxon root ōht/ōhta “fear, dread,” suggesting a sense like “formidable” or “fearsome.” Others see it as a worn form of the Germanic Ot-/Od- name group (cf. Otto) from Proto-Germanic *aud- “wealth, fortune.” Despite the tempting resemblance to Latin octo “eight,” the numerical link is unlikely. Modern usage favors the simplified Octa, while Octha reads more antiquarian; historically the name is masculine, though contemporary use may be unisex.
