Livia

Livia is the feminine of Livius, a Roman gens name of uncertain etymology, possibly drawn from liveo, to be bluish — said to commemorate a grey-eyed ancestor. The most famous bearer was Livia Drusilla, wife of Augustus and mother of Tiberius, whose political acumen shaped the early empire and whose fictional afterlife in I, Claudius gave the name a deliciously sinister tint. Italy has never let it go, and it has climbed steadily in the rest of Europe and North America since the 2000s. Three syllables, LEE-vee-ah. It reads intelligent, composed, a little watchful — a girl's name with a long memory and an unhurried smile.
