History & Origin
Olivene is a turn-of-the-century elaboration of Olive, dressing the plain classic in the fashionable -ene ending. Olive, from the Latin oliva, 'olive tree,' had a great vogue around the early twentieth century, and softened spin-offs like Olivene, which also nods to the gemstone olivine, belonged to that moment.
The name was always rare, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its Edwardian-era peak and to barely more than a hundred before it faded by the nineteen-thirties. A girl named Olivene then would be a great-grandmother now, and with Olive itself firmly back in style, a soft Olivene is easy to picture riding along.
