Origin & history of Alivia
Latin oliva (olive tree)
→ English Olivia
→ A-variant Alivia
1
Latin roots
Alivia is a creative respelling of Olivia, from the Latin oliva meaning olive tree. The olive branch has been a symbol of peace since ancient Greece. While Olivia has been the number-one girl's name in America for several years, Alivia offers parents who love the sound a way to differentiate their daughter's name. The A-opening creates a subtly different visual and phonetic impression — brighter and more open than the rounded O of Olivia. The name has its own chart presence in the US.
