Olgah is a modern English-language spelling variant of Olga, ultimately from Old Norse Helga, meaning "holy" or "blessed." The name entered the Slavic world through Varangian contact and became prominent thanks to Saint Olga of Kyiv (10th century), a revered ruler and early Christian convert of Kievan Rus'. From the 19th century onward, Olga spread across Europe and the Americas via literature, royal ties, and migration, while keeping its strong association with Eastern Europe.

Variants and cognates include Olga (standard), Olha (Ukrainian), Volha (Belarusian), and Helga (Scandinavian/German). Common diminutives are Olya/Olia (Russian-Ukrainian), Ola (Polish), and Olenka. The corresponding masculine form is Oleg. The -h ending in Olgah functions as a stylistic flourish rather than signaling a different pronunciation; it is typically said the same as Olga (OL-gah). This spelling remains uncommon but recognizable in Anglophone contexts.
