Lavinia

Ancient Roman name

Lavinia is a feminine given name, classical in tone and rarely encountered today.

It appears in Roman mythology as the name of a princess whose marriage to Aeneas founded the Roman lineage, and in Shakespeare's *Titus Andronicus* as a tragic heroine.

The name suggests old-fashioned elegance: Lavinia sounds like someone from a Victorian novel.
