Origin:Greek
Meaning:Heavenly, celestial; From Mount Olympus; Greek gods mountain
Olympas is a gender-neutral name of Greek origin with multiple meanings. Commonly derived from Olympia and Olympie, Olympus means “from Mount Olympus” or “Greek gods' mountain.” Coming from the fabled home of the gods in Greek mythology, there’s a lot to be inspired by. Mortals were not allowed where the gods and goddesses dwelled. However, not even the gods could keep baby from their heritage with a name like Olympas! Giving baby a name that also means “heavenly” and “celestial” will remind them to look to the mythos for guidance and comfort, just like the ancient Greeks.
