A Nursery Rhyme for Olivia

A free, original lullaby written just for the name Olivia — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.

Olivia's Starry Night

The silver moon begins to glow

Upon the world so far below

A little star spins in the skies

To bring a sparkle to your eyes

The night is soft and skies are deep

While little Olivia falls asleep

A gentle beam of golden light

Will keep you safe all through the night

The tiny stars begin to peek

Upon your rosy, resting cheek

They twinkle high and twinkle bright

And fill your room with glowing light

What does the name Olivia mean?

Origin — Latin

From the Latin oliva, “olive” — the tree and its branch, the classical emblem of peace.

Shakespeare gave the name to the countess in Twelfth Night (c. 1602), and its modern English life effectively begins there. It may have been formed as a feminine counterpart to Oliver.

We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.

A rhyme written around Olivia

Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Olivia hears their own name carried through the meter rather than dropped into a blank. That is the whole difference between a keepsake and a personalised product: the words could not be reused for another child.

Parents read it at bedtime. Grandparents and godparents frame it. Either way it is the one gift on the table that no one else can duplicate — which is why it tends to outlast everything else in the pile.
