Oliva

Oliva is Latin for “olive tree.” No part of this tree is without cultural meaning. Olive oil is considered sacred in certain branches of Christianity, the olive branch is seen as a symbol of peace worldwide, and olive leaves have been used for crowning victors as far back as Ancient Greece. So by virtue of the values it seems to represent, that of wisdom and power, it isn’t surprising that it also doubles as a feminine name. While its more popular variant is Olivia, feel free to stick to the original for your little one. It sure makes for o-live-ly name!
