Horatia

Horatia is a girl’s name of Latin and possibly Etruscan origin. Inspired by the Roman family name Horatius, which may come from the Latin hora, Horatia means “hour,” “time,” and “season”—perfect for any punctual parent. It could also derive from the Latin root ōrātiō, meaning “speech” or “eloquence.” Horatia was borne as a middle name by 19th-century novelist Juliana Horatia Ewing, who dedicated her life to children’s literature. Stories like A Flat Iron for a Farthing, Six to Sixteen, and Daddy Darwin’s Dovecot are a few tales worth sharing with your little one!
