Olivia draws on the Latin oliva, the olive tree long linked with peace and steady growth rather than conquest. Its associations lean toward calm resilience -- a tree that bears fruit slowly, through patience rather than force. The name is often read as carrying a quiet, grounded hopefulness, not dramatic destiny.
Saturn passing out of one sign into another, causes strange apparitions in the heavens, which the Arabians term Assub; or certain other signs of a Fiery nature. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
