Olympia is Greek in Origin.
Olympia derives from the ancient Greek Ὀλυμπία (Olympia), the feminine of Olympios, meaning "of Olympus" or "from Mount Olympus," the mythic home of the gods. By extension, it carries senses of "heavenly," "divine," and "exalted." The name also echoes Olympia, the Peloponnesian sanctuary where the Olympic Games were held, giving it a strong cultural and athletic resonance.
Used in classical and early Christian eras, it appears in late antiquity with Saint Olympias the Deaconess and in Byzantine aristocracy. The neoclassical vogue and the modern revival of the Olympic Games renewed its appeal across Europe and the Americas. Variants include Olimpia (Italian, Spanish, Polish, Romanian), Olympie (French), Olimpiya (Russian), and Olimpiia (Ukrainian); the classical Greek form is Olympias. Common short forms are Pia, Lia, and Oly/Oli.
