Ovi is a name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word 'ovis', which means 'sheep'. It is often used as a nickname for boys named Ovidiu or OVIDIU, which are of Romanian origin and mean 'little sheep'. The name Ovi is also found in other cultures, such as in the Yoruba people of Nigeria, where it is believed to mean 'rain'. However, it is not clear if this meaning is related to the Latin-origin Ovi. Historically, the name Ovi has been used for centuries in Romania and other parts of Eastern Europe. It was particularly popular during the Middle Ages, when many boys were given names that reflected their families' occupations or the animals they kept. Today, Ovi remains a popular name in Romania and other countries with Romanian-speaking populations. However, it is also gaining popularity as a unisex name in other parts of the world, thanks to its unique sound and meaning.
"Ovi experienced consistent popularity with 8 births each year from 2021 to 2022, and a slight increase in 2023 with 9 births, resulting in a total of 25 babies named Ovi over the three-year period."
