Short for masculine names such as Oliver (coming from names meaning "Elf warrior" in Ancient Germanic, or perhaps "Ancestor's descendant" in Old Norse), or feminine names Olivia and Olive (both coming from names meaning "Olive tree" in Latin).[13][14][15][16][17][4] In the US, SSA data shows about 17,037 people have been named Ollie, used as a feminine name 69% of the time.[18] SSA data shows about 17,037 people have had the variant spelling Olly, used as a feminine name 56% of the time.[19] Keywords: magic, mystical, neutral inclined, plants, two syllables.

Omega (Ωμέγα). English. Meaning "The last letter in the Greek alphabet (Ω), a symbol of completion and endings."

(Revelation 22:13). This refers to alpha and omega as symbolizing birth and death, respectively. Formerly, "omega" meant the lowest-ranking wolf in a pack, but this is now understood to not reflect how pack hierarchies work in nature, only in captivity. Chemistry, physics, mathematics, political movements, and pop culture have used an omega symbol for various other things.
