Definition
A female given name, often used in Italian and Spanish-speaking countries.
Etymology
Silvia comes from the Latin 'silva' meaning 'forest' or 'woodland', so the name literally means 'of the forest' or 'sylvan'. It has been used since Roman times and remains popular in Romance language countries.
Kelly Says
Silvia is the feminine form of the Roman god Silvanus (god of forests and wild places), which is why the name has an outdoorsy, natural quality—it's been a name for over 2,000 years!
