The Story Behind Oktawiusz
Oktawiusz is the Polish form of the Roman family name Octavius. The name Octavius was derived from the Latin word 'octavus', meaning 'eighth'. It was traditionally given to the eighth-born child in a family, or to a child born in the eighth month. The gens Octavia was a prominent plebeian family in ancient Rome, most famously known through Gaius Octavius, who later became the Emperor Augustus.
