Origin
Meaning and history of Lataveon
The name Lataveon has its origins in the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. The name is derived from the Etruscan words "lata," meaning "noble," and "veon," meaning "warrior."
The earliest recorded use of the name Lataveon can be traced back to an Etruscan inscription found on a burial urn from the 5th century BCE. The inscription reads "Lataveon, son of Tarchon," suggesting that the name was given to a member of the Etruscan nobility or a renowned warrior.
In the later years of the Roman Republic, the name Lataveon was adopted by some Roman families with Etruscan ancestry. One notable bearer of the name was Lataveon Tullius, a Roman statesman and orator who lived in the 1st century BCE. He was known for his eloquence and his defense of the Roman Republic against the rise of Julius Caesar's dictatorship.
During the Middle Ages, the name Lataveon fell into disuse, but it was revived in the Renaissance period, particularly in Italy. One of the most famous bearers of the name during this time was Lataveon Boccaccio, an Italian scholar and poet who lived from 1313 to 1375. He is best known for his masterpiece, the "Decameron," a collection of novellas that provides a vivid portrayal of 14th-century Italian society.
In the 16th century, the name Lataveon gained prominence in France, where it was adopted by members of the French nobility. One notable figure was Lataveon de Montmorency, a French military commander who played a crucial role in the French Wars of Religion in the late 16th century. He was known for his bravery and his loyalty to the Catholic cause.
Another significant bearer of the name Lataveon was the Italian Renaissance artist Lataveon da Vinci, who lived from 1452 to 1519. He was a polymath, renowned for his contributions to art, science, and engineering. Some of his most famous works include the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper."
While the name Lataveon has been relatively rare throughout history, it has endured as a testament to its Etruscan origins and its association with nobility, bravery, and intellectual pursuits.

FAQ
Lataveon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Lataveon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Lataveon 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Lataveon a common name?
We classify Lataveon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Lataveon most popular?
The single biggest year for Lataveon was 2008, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Lataveon is about 18 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 Lataveon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Lataveon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Lataveon in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Lataveon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Lataveon 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 Lataveon 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.
