      The name Tiberia is derived from the Latin name Tiberius, which is rooted in the Tiber River, the third-longest river in Italy, running through Rome. The etymology of Tiberius suggests a connection to the river's importance in Roman culture and geography. As a feminine form, Tiberia conveys similar historical and cultural significance, linking the bearer of the name with the rich legacy of Roman heritage.
