Olivia-Rose

Girl name · 71 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Olivia-Rose: 71 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 12 births in 2017.

Olivia-Rose combines two classic names with deep roots in Latin—Olivia, from *oliva* meaning "olive tree," a symbol of peace, and Rose, from *rosa*, the beloved flower. The pairing has grown popular in modern Scotland as part of a wider trend for elegant double-barrelled given names. Olivia gained literary fame through Shakespeare’s *Twelfth Night*, while the actress Olivia de Havilland brought it twentieth-century glamour. Rose has been borne by figures such as Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and the fictional Rose from *Titanic*. Though no specific place is named after Olivia-Rose, olive trees flourish across Mediterranean regions that share the name’s etymology. This combination offers a graceful, timeless feel, perfect for parents seeking a name that honours tradition while feeling fresh and distinctly Scottish in its hyphenated charm.
