Quotations

  • 1766 Oliver Goldsmith: The Vicar of Wakefield:
    I intended to call her after Aunt Grizel, but my wife who, during pregnancy, had been reading romances, insisted upon her being called Olivia. In less than another year we had another daughter, and now I was determined that Grizel should be her name; but a rich relation taking a fancy to stand godmother, the girl was, by her directions, called Sophia, so that we had two romantic names in the family, but I solemnly protest I had no hand in it.

Olivia is a popular female name. It is Latinate, coined by Shakespeare for the rich heiress wooed by the duke in Twelfth Night (1599). He might have derived the name from the olive plant (Latin: 'oliva') or used it as a feminine form of Oliver.

I'd think so.

A. Twelfth Night, Or What You Will is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare, believed written around 1601 as a Twelfth Night's entertainment for the close of the Christmas season.
