Meaning and history of Latravion

The name Latravion is a unique and intriguing moniker with a rich history that spans across various cultures and time periods. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Sumerian civilization, where it is believed to have emerged from the word "latrav," meaning "to traverse." This connection suggests that the name may have been associated with travelers, explorers, or those who embarked on great journeys.

During the height of the Akkadian Empire, around the 24th century BCE, the name Latravion gained prominence among the ruling class. It was often bestowed upon princes and nobles, signifying their ability to lead and conquer new territories. Ancient inscriptions from this era depict Latravion as a revered name, imbued with a sense of power and prestige.

As the centuries passed, the name Latravion found its way into the annals of Greek mythology. According to ancient texts, Latravion was a skilled hunter and warrior who accompanied the renowned hero Odysseus on his epic voyage home from the Trojan War. While the historicity of this figure remains uncertain, his inclusion in such a seminal work speaks to the enduring legacy of the name.

The first recorded instance of the name Latravion can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Livy, who documented the life of a Carthaginian general bearing this name during the Punic Wars of the 3rd century BCE. This Latravion was renowned for his strategic brilliance and unwavering courage on the battlefield, earning him a place among the great military leaders of his time.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the name Latravion was closely associated with the knightly orders of Europe. One notable figure was Sir Latravion de Montfort, a French crusader who fought valiantly during the Third Crusade in the late 12th century. His bravery and devotion to the cause earned him the admiration of his contemporaries and cemented his place in the annals of chivalry.

During the Renaissance period, the name Latravion gained new significance as a symbol of artistic and intellectual pursuits.

His contributions to art, science, and engineering have left an indelible mark on human civilization, and his name has become synonymous with genius and creativity.

As the centuries progressed, the name Latravion continued to be passed down through various cultures and generations.

FAQ

Latravion: questions and answers

How many people in the U.S. are named Latravion?

Name Census puts the figure at roughly 117 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Latravion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,929,524 US residents.

When was Latravion most popular?

The single biggest year for Latravion was 2006, when 12 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Latravion is about 20 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.

What does the SSA popularity chart show?

The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Latravion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Latravion still being used today?

Yes. The SSA still recorded Latravion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.

Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?

Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Latravion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.

Where does this data come from?

First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.

Does every first name have Census demographic data?

No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
