Meaning & origin
Shatavia is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1977. It is part of a wave of names from the late twentieth century that used the Sha- prefix, such as Shanice and Shantavia. The name experienced its peak popularity in 1993, but it has always been rare. It did not rank among the top one thousand names in any year, and its one-in-N statistic is not available due to its low frequency. The trajectory has been stable in recent years, with only a handful of births. Shatavia reflects the creative American naming tradition where parents combine familiar sounds and syllables to form new, distinct identities for their children.
Shatavia emerged in the United States in the late 20th century as part of the trend of creating distinctive names with the Sha- prefix. It likely draws from existing names such as Latavia and Tavia, which themselves are modern coinages. The name first appeared in Social Security records in 1977 and saw modest use, peaking in popularity in 1993.
