About Olivet
Mount Olivet is a mountain ridge east of and adjacent to Jerusalem's Old City. It is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes. Several key events in the life of Jesus, as related in the Gospels, took place on the Mount of Olives, and in the Acts of the Apostles it is described as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven. This name makes a fresh alternative to Olivia and is worthy of consideration.
Olivet is also given to boys.
Pronounced AHL-ih-vet.
As of October 2026, Olivet ranked #4624 for boys in US births in 1918 and #7799 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3718 for girls in 1919.
