Settimia is Italian in Origin.

Settimia is the Italian feminine form of the Latin name Septimia, derived from septem (“seven”) via septima/septimus, meaning “seventh.” In Roman practice, such ordinal names marked birth order or, occasionally, the month of birth - September being the seventh month in the early Roman calendar. The name therefore carries associations of luck, completeness, and cycle, long tied to the symbolic power of the number seven in Mediterranean cultures.

Borne by women of the gens Septimia in antiquity, Settimia resurfaced in Italy during the Renaissance’s classical revival and persists today as a rare, vintage choice, especially in central regions. Variants and cognates include Septimia (Latin/Romanian), Séptima (Spanish), and Sétima (Portuguese); the masculine counterparts are Settimio/Septimius, Séptimo, and Sétimo. Italian diminutives such as Timi and Mia soften its stately rhythm while keeping its scholarly, Old-World charm.
