Thavius is English in Origin.

Thavius is a modern English given name, likely a variant of Tavius, itself a shortened form of the Roman family name Octavius meaning “eighth.” The initial Th- may reflect influence from Thaddeus, the Greek/Aramaic name associated with ideas of “heart” and “courage.” Because of these converging roots, Thavius is often interpreted either with the classical sense of “eighth-born” or with the warmer, virtue-leaning sense of “courageous heart.”

Usage is rare but traceable in the United States from the late twentieth century onward, with the name appearing in music credits and occasional fantasy literature, then spreading modestly via pop culture and creative naming trends. Variant forms include Tavius, Tavious, Tavian, and Tavion; occasional spellings such as Thavion also appear, while the longer cognates Octavius and Thaddeus provide traditional anchors. Short forms and nicknames include Thav and Tavi.
