Oletha is a unique and elegant name of American origin, deriving from the Greek 'Olive' and 'Thea', meaning 'olive' and 'goddess'. It gained popularity in the early 20th century but remains relatively uncommon today, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet sophisticated name.
"Oletha was quite popular from 1915 onwards, peaking at 41 births in 1923. However, its popularity significantly declined thereafter, with the last notable year being 1972 with 13 births."
