Re: Olympia
A little Googling showed me that the meaning of 'Olympos' is indeed unknown, almost famously so.It is unfortunate that there are some websites about given names that can't have that, i.e. a name without a meaning. In such cases they tend to present some analogy or some guess as "meaning". I think that is the case with 'Olympos': Because that mountain was the seat of the Greek gods, "heavenly" sure makes for a good meaning, right?Well, maybe not, but it's sooo tempting...
