Olga
Featured in baby name books
Olga is a Russian and Norse name meaning “holy,” a version of Helga. Olga is borne by a tenth-century saint and by gymnast Olga Korbut, who gave the name new grace at the 1976 Olympics. Olga of Kiev took power after her husband’s murder and outwitted the rival Drevlyans who tried to force a marriage on her.
