"Variant of Octavius"
The name Octavis is commonly a male name from the "Latin" origin.
Octavis is a variant spelling of Octavius, a Roman family name (nomen) attested in Latin sources and built on octavus, "eighth". The same root underlies the feminine Octavia and the related forms Octavian, Octavio and Octave. The ending -is is not the classical Latin spelling, which is -ius.
Octavius means "Eighth-born child.".
The pronunciation of Octavis is ahk-TAY-vis.
