I've come across the female name Alivia used twice in medieval Britain. One was Alivia de Hamme/de Hame (that was her married name anyway), and the other was Alivia Braose. Both lived in the 14th century. Alivia Braose was also called Alice. Was Alivia a 14th century variant of Alice? I doubt it was related to the Shakespearean name Olivia.
