What does Olivia mean to you? I’m sure that meaning would be far more interesting than any historical reference. My name means so much more than its literal meaning to me. Anyway, here are some details for you.
Olivia - pronounced Oh-liv-ee-ah, when you translate the word to Hindi, it doesn’t really mean anything so let’s focus on other etymologies. From the English point of view, it means Elf Army but from the Latin origin it means Olive or Olive Tree.
The Olive Tree signifies peace, beauty, dignity and fruitfulness. The biblical references to the olive tree branch are in line with this meaning. So it’s quite a neat name to have. Congratulations! I’m sure you’ve heard many variants of your name like Liv, Oliva, Olva, Ollie, Oliver and so many more. These are cute nicknames; which one’s your favourite?
Who can forget Olive Oyl, Popeye’s slim girlfriend or Olivia Newton John who won our hearts dancing along with John Travolta in Grease. Shakespeare had a famous aristocratic character in the Twelfth Night by the same name. I didn’t like the play as much as I liked A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Your personality number is seven. You seek wisdom and disdain physical work. You love perfection, teaching and spirituality. On the other hand, you prefer to work alone and would always like to be the leader.
For such a short name, it surprisingly has four syllables. Isn’t that surprising to you? Have a great day, Olivia; it was great getting to know more about your name.

As olive trees tend to be very long lived, the name also means 'longevity' and the resultant wisdom that age can bring.
