Today we honor Olívie & Oliver. Happy name day, Olívie & Oliver!
The name Olívie is the Czech form of Olivia, which is of Latin origin and means "olive tree". The name was coined by Shakespeare as the name of a much-wooed aristocrat in his play "Twelfth Night" (1599). He may have derived the name from the olive plant, or as a feminine form of Oliver. In Biblical terms, the olive tree is a symbol of fruitfulness, beauty, and dignity.
