The people named Octave are not named after music. It's just a variation of Octavius.

- coldtea 11y agoActually Octavius itself derives from the latin for "eight" (octavus, which is were the music term also got it name).
- jordigh 11y agoYes, of course, but the number eight means more than just music. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine that people keep thinking that GNU Octave has something to do with music.
