Olívia

Olívia Origin and Meaning

The name Olívia is a girl's name.

Olívia is the Portuguese and Hungarian form of Olivia, derived from Latin meaning 'olive tree,' a symbol of peace and fertility in Mediterranean cultures. The name carries the same elegant, classical associations as its English counterpart but with a distinctive accent that influences its pronunciation. In Portuguese-speaking countries like Brazil and Portugal, as well as in Hungary, Olívia ranks among popular choices for baby girls. The accent mark creates a slightly different emphasis that distinguishes it from the English version while maintaining the name's inherent femininity and grace. Like Olivia, it evokes images of natural beauty and Mediterranean heritage, with literary connections through Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night.'
