Jovi is a boy’s name that is Latin in origin. This kingly name derives from Jove, which is the older name for Jupiter, the ancient Roman ruler of the gods. Jove is an imposing and powerful figure in Roman mythology. He was the god of thunder and the sky. The largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, is named after him. It is appropriate, therefore, that Jovi means “Father of the sky.” Alternatively, it is also a Slavic variant of John if you’re looking to pay homage in a more contemporary way. Not to mention, if you’re a Bon Jovi fan, Jovi as baby’s given name can be a fun tribute!
