Jove

The origin of the boy's name Jove is Latin, and the meaning of Jove is "Father of the sky." This joyful name, another name for Jupiter, king of the Roman gods, is excellently suitable for everyday use. The feminine forms of Jovita are Jovita and Jovie. Jove is an alternative name for Jupiter, the Roman pantheon's deity ruler. He is the leader, the patriarch. The connection between Jupiter and Jove requires a Latin grammar lesson, so let's say that descriptive adjectives for the god and the planet that holds his name revert to the previous form: jovian. In the grandest temple on Capitoline Hill, he was venerated. Like how we swear to speak the truth in court by placing our hand on the Bible, ancient Romans swore: "by Jupiter." And yet, when most of us hear the name Jupiter, we immediately think of the largest planet in our solar system, the planet that bears his name. Ancient Rome had some use for Jovianus. In the fourth century, Flavius Jovianus became emperor, although his rule only lasted eight months. He is remembered for replacing the persecution of Christians with the persecution of pagans. The Jovians were an elite regiment of guards tasked with defending the emperor. In the 1400s, the Italian poet Giovanni Pontano wrote under "Jovianus Pontanus". However, Jove is a relatively uncommon given name throughout history.
