Olimpe is Greek in Origin.
Olimpe is a French feminine given name, a historical variant spelling of Olympe, ultimately from Ancient Greek Olympos via Latin Olympus. It denotes “of Mount Olympus,” the mythic seat of the gods, and thus carries connotations of the celestial or exalted.
The name appears in French records from the medieval period and gained visibility with classical revivals in the Renaissance and Enlightenment - most memorably through the 18th‑century feminist Olympe de Gouges (spelled with y). The i-spelling occurs in early modern documents as an alternative orthography and remains rare but intelligible in Francophone use today. Closely related forms include Olympe (standard French), Olympie/Olimpie (literary French), Olympia (English, German, Scandinavian), and Olimpia (Italian, Spanish, Polish), as well as Greek Olympias. Masculine counterparts are Olympe in historical French and Olimpio/Olympius in Romance and Latin tradition. Informal diminutives such as Oly are sometimes encountered.
Olimpe turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Names like this are usually very rare, tied to a particular region or tradition, or freshly invented. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
