"Blend of La and Tavia"
The name Latavia is commonly a female name.
Latavia is a modern American formation built from the opening element La-, the prefix seen in twentieth-century American names such as LaToya and LaShawn, combined with Tavia, a short form of Octavia. The name is assembled from these parts rather than inherited from an older language, and it is first recorded in United States birth data in 1970. Octavia itself goes back to the Latin octavus, meaning eighth.
The pronunciation of Latavia is luh-TAY-vee-uh.
