Olympya is Greek in Origin.

Olympya is a modern English respelling of Olympia, from Greek Olympía, the feminine form of Olympios “of Olympus.” The root is Olympos, the mythic mountain home of the gods and site of the sanctuary of Zeus; the name thus means “from/belonging to Olympus,” carrying senses of lofty, divine, and exalted.

Used in antiquity and in early Christianity - most notably by Saint Olympias (c. 361–408) of Constantinople - the name reappeared in Renaissance and 19th‑century neoclassical fashions, and it sees periodic bumps in attention around the Olympic Games. International variants include Olympia (English), Ολυμπία/Olympía (Greek), Olimpia (Italian, Spanish, Polish, Romanian), and Olímpia (Portuguese); Russian gives Олимпия (Olimpiya). Related forms are Olympias (the mother of Alexander the Great) and the masculine Olympio/Olimpio. Common nicknames are Oly/Ollie, Pia, and Lia. Olympya preserves the same heritage while offering a distinctive, contemporary spelling.
