Origin and meaning of Olimpia
Olimpia comes from the Greek Olympía, linked to Mount Olympus, home of the gods, and to the city that hosted the ancient games: it thus means 'of Olympus, divine, heavenly'. The name carries an idea of grandeur, splendour and victory. Borne by the mother of Alexander the Great, it is found in Italy, Spain and, as Olympia, in German- and English-speaking areas. It keeps a noble, majestic tone evoking classical glory.
