Pictures of Usain Bolt’s daughter Olympia
In the cute pictures, Baby Olympia is seen flaunting a pretty pink dress and a hairband too. She looks surprised and is gazing at the camera. The name has the words ‘Lightning Bolt,’ which is also the name given to Usain by his fans. According to a name book, Olympia is originally a Greek name. It translates to the term “from Mount Olympus.” So, there is a dual reference with Mount Olympus as well as the Olympic game. Altogether, the name Olympia has the aura of a Goddess and flavor of athleticism.
Just like Olympia’s other sports star, Serena Williams named her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. when she was born in 2017.
