MEANING & HISTORY

What does Lavina mean?

Both the edited name entry and Meertens identify Lavina with Lavinia. Lavinia belongs to Roman legendary history as Latinus’s daughter and Aeneas’s wife; the story associates her with the town Lavinium.

That literary relationship is documented, but it does not settle whether the ultimate name is Etruscan or supply a literal word meaning purity, lavender or beloved.
