What does the name Olyvia mean?
Olyvia is a spelling of Olivia, pronounced the same way, so it shares Olivia's meaning and origin.
Olivia goes back to the Latin word for the olive, the tree and its fruit. Medieval English records already show it as a woman's name: DMNES files Olivia under Olive, with Latin forms such as Oliva and Olivia in English documents from the 1290s on. Wiktionary credits Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night, whose heroine is Olivia, with first making the name popular.
olīva (Latin, “olive; olive tree”)
How sure is this? Probable. The olive root is agreed. The exact route by which the -ia form spread in English (an early saint's name or Shakespeare) is less well documented.
