Livie-Jo is in Origin.
Livie-Jo blends a tender diminutive with a jaunty mid-century tag. Livie comes from Olivia or Livia - and sometimes Scandinavian Liv. Olivia traces to Latin oliva, "olive tree," familiar since Shakespeare's Twelfth Night; Livia derives from the Roman family name Livius, while Liv in Nordic use carries senses of "life" or Old Norse Hlif, "protection." Jo is a clipped form of Josephine (from Hebrew Yosef, "he will add, increase") or Joanna (from Yohanan, "God is gracious"). Together, Livie-Jo suggests "olive tree/life/protection" joined with "increase" or "grace."
Hyphenated -Jo names flourished in the UK and North America in the 1940s-60s and have revived with modern double-barrel trends. Usage is strongest in contemporary English-speaking countries as a friendly, informal given name. Variants include Livie Jo (unhyphenated), Livi-Jo, Livvy-Jo, and Liv-Jo; short forms are Liv and LJ.
Livie-Jo does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
