Liv

Liv is a Norwegian mostly female given name derived from the Old Norse "hlíf", which means "shelter" or "protection"; in modern Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish it is also homophonous with the word "liv" meaning "life."
In Norse mythology, Líf and Lífþrasir (Old Norse masculine name from líf and þrasir), were two humans foretold to survive Ragnarök and to repopulate the world.
Sometimes Liv can be a shortened version of Olivia.
