Meaning: Golden; Blonde

Flaviana is a feminine name derived from Latin. Meaning “golden” or “blonde,” it can be traced back to Flavius, a Roman family name. Adopted by the Byzantine emperors during the later period of the Empire as a personal name, this name has a royal stamp of approval. A personality worthy of mention is Tanzanian beauty queen and fashion model Flaviana Matata. She represented her country in the Miss Universe pageant in 2007 and became the first to do so, and that too with a completely shaved head! So it just goes to show that this name is not just for babies with a gold head of hair. Your little one need only have the confidence and an inner glow, rendering the choice golden!
