feminine · Danish origin
Liva is a Scandinavian feminine name used primarily in Denmark, generally understood as a short form of Olivia, itself derived from Latin oliva meaning olive or olive tree. The Latvian form Līva is sometimes connected to the Livs, a Finnic people historically inhabiting the Baltic coast, lending the name an additional layer of regional and ethnic resonance. Related forms include Olivia and Livia.
