Olivia-May

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Olivia-May: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2015.

Olivia-May is a modern Scottish double-barrelled name, blending Olivia, a Latin-derived name meaning "olive tree," with May, an English name referring to the month or derived from Maia, the Roman goddess of spring growth. Olivia gained fame through William Shakespeare's character in "Twelfth Night," and the name has enjoyed immense popularity in Scotland and the UK. May carries historical weight through figures like Queen Mary of Teck, whose first name was May, and novelist Louisa May Alcott. While no specific places bear the exact combination, the root "Olivia" connects to olive-producing regions of the Mediterranean, and May echoes the month celebrated in many cultures. A notable variant is Olivia-Mae, with Mae an alternative spelling.
