Lavena

As a variant of Lavinia, Lavena is a girl's name of unknown meaning and origin but is thought to be Etruscan. Though its precise root is a mystery, Lavinia is famous amongst Roman mythology enthusiasts as it's the name of the daughter of King Latinus and wife of Aeneas. Lavinia's father named the city of Lavinium in her honour. Bookworms will recall characters named Lavinia in novels and plays by Henry James, T.S. Eliot, and Ursula Le Guin. Even the creators of Downton Abbey chose this name for the kind-hearted and compassionate fiancée of Matthew Crawley. With its modern flair yet classical undertone, Lavena takes this classic name to new heights.
