Flaviu is a Romanian boy’s name that comes from the Latin word flāvus, meaning “golden-haired.” After the historically important Flavian dynasty ended in the Roman Empire, Flavius became the name of choice for a certain period. Even Constantine the First adopted Flavius as his first name, setting a precedent for royal families to take up. Even though times have changed, you can most definitely follow in the footsteps of the great emperor himself by naming your child Flaviu. And if baby has golden hair to flaunt, it’s just the cherry on top!
