Olimpiah is Greek in Origin.

Olimpiah is a modern elaboration of Olympia/Olimpia, ultimately rooted in Greek Olympos, the name of Mount Olympus, seat of the gods. As a given name it conveys "from Olympus" or "belonging to the divine heights," sometimes broadly read as "heavenly." The spelling with -iah reflects contemporary English tastes and echoes biblical name endings, though its etymology remains Greek.

In the classical world the name appears as Olympias, borne by the mother of Alexander the Great, and later by Saint Olympias, a famed 4th-5th century deaconess of Constantinople. Through Romance and Slavic languages the form Olimpia/Olímpia stayed current, while English and French favored Olympia and Olympe. Related variants include French Olympie, ancient Olympias, and diminutives Lia, Pia, and Oli. Though rare today, Olimpiah blends antique grandeur with a modern twist, and it subtly nods to the athletic ideal of the Olympics.
