In 2025, 892 babies in England and Wales were named Olive. In the US, 1,247 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Olive was most common in 1885, when it went to 0.25% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
