Liva is a girl’s name of Latin and Norse origins. As a derivation of the Latin name Olivia, Liva means “olive tree,” a symbol of peace in both ancient and modern times. However, Liva also comes from the Old Norse name Lif, meaning “life.” In Norse mythology, Lif was one of two human beings prophesized to survive Ragnorok and repopulate the world. This legendary namesake will serve as an inspiration to baby Liva throughout her life.
