Olympiah is Greek in Origin.

Olympiah is a modern Anglicized embellishment of Olympia, ultimately from ancient Greek Olympos, the sky-high mountain revered as the seat of the gods. Through the Greek adjective Olympios/Olympia (“of Olympus”), the name conveys the sense of heavenly, exalted origin, or one who belongs to Olympus.

Forms include Olympia (English, Greek), Olimpia (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish), and the classical Olympias (Greek), borne by Alexander the Great’s mother and by the 4th-century saint and deaconess Olympias. The spelling with terminal -h mirrors English fashion in names like Norah or Rebekah, giving the classic a softer finish without altering pronunciation. The name saw periodic revivals with neoclassical taste and the modern Olympic Games, and today feels both mythic and cosmopolitan. Nicknames and short forms include Pia, Lia, and Oly.
