Names are rare, original, shocking, pretentious, in a word, standing apart. In the 20-30s of the XX century, children were often called strange names associated with enthusiasm for the industrialization of the country (for example, Vanguard). In the 30s-40s, international, “foreign” names were given - for example, German. Now the name of the Olympics (interest in it again arose in connection with the Winter Games in Sochi) on the territory of Russia are mainly women born in the 30s of the last century. This confirms the fashion of that time in foreign names, which led to their relative rarity. Natasha and Tatyan were much more.
The rarity of the name of the Olympics
Therefore, if you want to instantly name several famous women with this name, you can only remember the unforgettable Olympiad Lvovna from the “Extraordinary Concert”, the famous performance of Sergei Obraztsov's puppet theater. But only residents of the Soviet Union can boast of this knowledge. For a long time there is neither that country, nor that performance, but in order to find out who bore the name of the Olympics and what it is, you have to turn to dictionaries. Without their help, we can only note the spirit of competition contained in the name, to state that it is directly related to the international sports movement, although there are mathematical and other scientific olympiads. That is, the idea suggests itself that women Olympics through self-improvement strive to prove their superiority.
Name origin
Few people do not know the name of the mountain - the place of residence of the ancient Greek gods, in whose honor the Olympic Games were organized. In essence, they were the entertainment of aristocrats. All the heroes of this ancient country were either kings, like Odysseus, children of kings, like Oedipus, or generally divine offspring, like Achilles and Hercules. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the queen who lived in the 4th century BC was the first known woman to be named after the Olympics. She called herself so in order to perpetuate the victory of her husband, King Philip II, in the Olympic Games. It is unlikely that she would have succeeded if she had not been the mother of Alexander of Macedon. Much later, in the 5th century AD, another bearer of this name lived, adding fame to him by her asceticism and unprecedented generosity. Her name is the Olympics of Constantinople. A student of John Chrysostom, she did so much for Christianity that she was canonized. Her memorial day in the church calendar falls on July 25 (August 7).
