Olive
Oliva is a Latin name directly referring to the olive tree or its fruit. While it is often overshadowed by the popular variant Olivia, Oliva has a long history as a distinct name in its own right, particularly in Romance languages. It symbolizes peace and fruitfulness, much like the olive branch.
