Tiberia
t(i)-be-ria
Origin:Roman
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Of the Tiber
Give baby a name that flows all the way back to the beginning of Roman history. Typically given to girls, Tiberia is a version of the Roman and Latin masculine moniker Tiberius. Meaning "of the Tiber," baby will be linked to the body of water that streams through Italy's capital. Legend has it that on its banks, Romulus and Remus' basket lay protected by the Tiber until they were saved. It was Romulus who then founded Rome. The river is not too far from the Vatican, the Colosseum, or the Pantheon, so baby's life will surely be enriched by culture. Hopefully, one day, baby Tiberia will be lucky enough to visit the place that inspired their beautiful name.
