Octavius

Caesar's heir originally

Octavius is a Latin given name meaning "eighth," traditionally given to an eighth child or one born in the eighth month.

It was a Roman family name—most famously borne by Gaius Octavius, who became Emperor Augustus.

The name survives in modern use, though rarely: Octavius is an unusual choice for a baby name these days.
