Tiberia

Tiberia is a feminine given name derived from the Roman cognomen Tiberius, which itself referred to the Tiber River in Italy. The name Tiberius was famously borne by the second Roman emperor, Tiberius Caesar Augustus. While Tiberius was a male name, its feminine form Tiberia would have been used to denote a female connection to the river or to a male named Tiberius, following common Roman naming conventions where feminine forms were created by changing the ending of a masculine name.

The use of such names, linking individuals to geographical features or prominent families, was a hallmark of Roman nomenclature. Although Tiberia itself is not as widely documented as its masculine counterpart, its formation is consistent with ancient Roman practices. In modern times, it remains a rare name, often chosen for its classical Roman sound and historical connection.
