Olivia-Mae: 21 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2022.
Olivia-Mae is a modern hyphenated combination of two classics. Olivia, from the Latin for "olive," became popular thanks to Shakespeare, who used it in *Twelfth Night*. Mae is a spelling variation of May, derived from the Roman goddess Maia or the month itself, symbolising spring and renewal. As a compound, this name has been given in Scotland since the early 2000s, reflecting a trend for pairing beloved traditional names. While no famous bearer yet carries exactly this combination, actress Olivia de Havilland and singer Mae West have popularised the root names individually. The name also shares an etymological root with the region of Livonia, while the olive branch remains a universal emblem of peace.
