A simple, pretty journal made for one person: Olympia. Her name is set in script above pink watercolor apple blossom on the cover.
Behind the Name calls Olympia the feminine form of Olympos, and lists it in Greek and Slovak use. In Greek it is written Ολυμπία. Behind the Name also lists the Ancient Greek Olympias, the French Olympe and the Italian, Polish and Romanian Olimpia. Wikipedia describes Olympia as a feminine given name. Behind the Name says Olympos was derived from the place name Olympos, the mountain home of the Greek gods, which makes Olympia a grand, classical name for a girl.
Behind the Name’s family tree for Olympia lists the Ancient Greek Olympias, the French Olympe, the Greek Olympia and the Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian and Spanish Olimpia, plus the Russian Olimpiada. Its masculine form is Olympos. Olly would be an easy pet form at home.
Wikipedia’s list of Olympias includes Olympia Dukakis (1931 to 2021), an American actress, Olympia Snowe, born in 1947, a U.S. Senator from Maine, and Olympia Brown (1835 to 1926), an American minister and suffragist. It also names Olympia Valance, born in 1993, an Australian actress, Olympia Aldersey, born in 1992, an Australian Olympic champion rower, and Olympia Mancini (1638 to 1708), the Countess of Soissons.
Olympia never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart shows it ranked in only five years between 1913 and 1925, best at 849th in 1917 and 976th in 1925, its last ranking. England and Wales ranked it 922nd in 2025, so it remains a rare name on both sides of the Atlantic.
Wikipedia’s Olympia page lists Olympia LePoint, born in 1976, an American author, professional speaker and rocket scientist, and Olympia Scott, born in 1976, a former Women’s National Basketball Association player. It also names Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, born in 1996, the oldest child and only daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece.
Whether Olympia is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Olympia on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
How big is Olympia’s Notebook? It’s 6" x 9" (about 15.2 x 22.9 cm), with 160 lined pages in a paperback cover.
