History & Origin
Alyviah respells Alivia, which is itself a variant of Olivia — a name Shakespeare gave to a countess in Twelfth Night, built on Latin oliva, 'olive'. The olive branch has stood for peace since antiquity. The Y and the added H are modern American flourishes that leave the sound untouched (said 'uh-LIV-ee-uh').
It appears only rarely in the U.S., far behind Olivia. Rare in spelling, familiar in sound.
