This has been bugging me for a while. On this site, it says Olympia is the fem form of Olympos - the meaning of which is unknown. Additionally, Olympos was "the name of the mountain home of the Greek gods."

This seems right, but I read that the meaning of Olympos and Olympia was 'heavenly'. I may be completely wrong, but does anyone know if this is correct?
