Meaning & Origin of Trivia

Meaning: Epithet of the Roman goddess Diana as guardian of crossroads (Latin 'three roads').

Origin: Latin.

A common claim: many assume 'Trivia' just means '(unimportant) facts,' as in the everyday English word. Actually: The everyday sense of 'trivia' (minor facts) shares the same Latin root, but as a given name Trivia specifically echoes the goddess-epithet sense (guardian of crossroads), not 'trivial facts.'
