History & Origin
Oliviamae joins two names into one word, in the American double-name tradition that gave us Ellamae and Bettymae. Olivia comes from the Latin oliva, 'olive tree', long a symbol of peace, and owes its English life to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Mae is a pet form of Mary or Margaret, and also the month. Together they make a soft, five-beat name with a country warmth (said 'oh-LIV-ee-uh-may').
It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, double-barrelled, and sweet.
