Invented by Shakespeare for his play "Twelfth Night." Olivia was either meant to be a female form of Oliver or derived from the vocabulary word 'olive' which is a symbol of peace. Olivia was the fifth most popular name for girls in the US in 2005, and the most popular name for girls in the UK in 2006.
In English the word Olivia means 'Elf Army'. I read it on the same web site as the above information...no joke.
Congratulations to Tia and Ryan on the birth of their first child, baby Olivia! Can't wait to see the newest addition.
