HelpWhen you search for meanings...

...you will get results that have your search terms anywhere in the description. Olive, for example, has the word "love" in its description, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning:
Created by Shakespeare for a character in his comedy 'Twelfth Night'. He may have based it on the name OLIVER or on Latin oliva "olive". In the play Olivia is a noblewoman who is wooed by Duke Orsino but instead falls in love with his messenger Cesario.
(Bolding mine.)
I assume that's where you got the idea that Olivia means "love" and Athena means "wisdom." The meaning search is a great tool, but it's not perfect, so make sure you actually look at the results you get. Don't just assume that whatever you put in the search box is the literal meaning.
