Olimpia

Meaning of Olimpia

Olimpia, a feminine appellation deriving from the ancient Greek epithet “Olympía”—denoting “of Mount Olympus” and referencing both the mythic seat of the Hellenic pantheon and the historic site of the ancient Olympic Games—carries classical provenance and connotations of excellence rooted in Hellenic tradition. Rendered in Spanish as oh-LEEM-pyah (/oˈlim.pja/) and in Italian as oh-LIM-pee-uh (/oˈlɪm.pi.ə/), the name has maintained a modest yet persistent profile in the United States, where Social Security Administration data document its peak relative ranking of 625 in 1943 and its stabilization within the 900s in recent years (ranked 941 in 2024), a trajectory that underscores its enduring niche appeal amid shifting naming trends.
