Olivia’s True Meaning

Olivia’s True Meaning | Name News | Scoop.it
I must tell you that you are the only website out of many that has it listed as ‘Elf Army’. I am curious where that came from? Every book that I have looked in and every other website has the correct meaning which is ‘Olive’ or ‘Olive tree’.
