There is no Roman or Latin word "Octavian". Octavian is an English connotation of the name Octavius. (Just as Antony is an English version of Antonius) Octavius is a Roman clan name.
Yes, Augustus and Octavian are the same person. Octavian was the name used by Gaius Octavius Thurinus before he became the first Roman emperor. After he defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra, the Roman Senate granted him the title "Augustus" in 27 BC, marking the beginning of the Roman Empire.
Mark Antony was a significant figure in Roman history primarily for his role in the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. As a military leader and politician, he was a key ally of Julius Caesar and played a crucial role in the events following Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE. His alliance with Cleopatra VII of Egypt and subsequent conflict with Octavian (later Augustus) led to the final war of the Roman Republic, culminating in his defeat at the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE. This defeat paved the way for Octavian’s rise to power and the establishment of the Roman Empire, marking a pivotal shift in Western history.
The sole ruler after Julius Caesar was Octavian/Augustus. Remember, though, that Octavian did not replace Caesar immediately, as there was a period when the second triumvirate ruled. It was after the triumvirate fell apart that Octavian replaced Caesar.
The personal relationships between Marc Anthony, Octavian, and Cleopatra significantly shaped the political landscape of ancient Rome. Marc Anthony's alliance and romance with Cleopatra drew him away from Rome and created tensions with Octavian, who sought to consolidate power and viewed Anthony as a rival. Their relationship ultimately led to the famous naval confrontation at Actium in 31 BCE, where Octavian's forces triumphed. This defeat marked the decline of the Roman Republic and the rise of Octavian as Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, fundamentally altering the course of Roman history.

Cleopatra was a handy tool for Octavian to use against Marc Antony in their power struggle. Octavian used her and her relationship to Antony as an excuse, or at least one excuse, for going to war.
