Olive

Olive stems directly from the Latin word 'oliva,' referring to the tree famed for its fruit and symbolism. For millennia, the olive branch has represented peace and reconciliation, its oil used in sacred rituals and daily life across the Mediterranean world. The name gained literary traction through Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' and has since echoed through English-speaking cultures, carrying its tranquil connotations.
