What is the meaning of the name Sextis ?

Sextis is Latin in Origin.

Sextis is a rare modern adaptation of the Latin praenomen Sextus ("sixth"), used in Rome to mark the sixth-born son or a child born in the month Sextilis (later August). The spelling Sextis mirrors a Latin oblique case form (sextis) and may also be influenced by the ecclesiastical name Sixtus, well known through several early Popes, most famously Sixtus IV of Renaissance Rome. Through church Latin the name passed into European languages.

Related forms include Sextus and Sixtus (Latin), Sixto (Spanish), Sisto (Italian/Portuguese), Sixte (French), and Sixt (German). Feminine counterparts appear as Sixta and the rarer Sixtina. Nicknames could include Six or Si. Usage today is uncommon and tends to appeal to parents seeking a bold, antique-Latin profile with papal or ordinal resonance. The core meaning remains "the sixth," conveying order, continuity, or a subtle nod to numerology.
