Fulvia is from the Latin *fulvus* (tawny, golden, reddish-yellow). **A modern revival name in the broader vintage-Roman aesthetic**. **Fulvia (c. 83-40 BCE)** — Roman noblewoman; one of the most-politically-powerful women of the late Roman Republic; **first non-divine, non-mythological Roman woman to appear on Roman coins** — an unprecedented honor (41 BCE); married three Roman political leaders successively: Publius Clodius Pulcher (Roman tribune), Gaius Scribonius Curio, and Mark Antony (her third husband); led military operations in person during the Perusine War (41-40 BCE) — making her one of the few Roman women to command armies in the field; one of the foundational figures in the political history of Roman women; her ambitious career was later overshadowed by Cleopatra (the next wife of Mark Antony); her tomb at Sicyon (modern Greece) is preserved. **Fulvia Plautilla (early 3rd century CE)** — wife of Emperor Caracalla; granddaughter-in-law of Septimius Severus. **Saint Fulvia of Castelfidardo** — Italian Catholic saint. **Fulvia Bisi** — Italian operatic soprano. **Princess Fulvia of Hesse-Cassel** — modern German royal naming. The Fulvia name reflects the broader 2020s American taste for distinctive Roman heritage feminine names alongside Octavia, Livia, Agrippina, and Fulvia.
