Bolt and Kasi had welcomed their first daughter in May this year.

The name Olympia could have been inspired by Bolt's achievements at the Olympics, where he won eight gold medals. He earned the moniker ‘Lightning Bolt’ as he set records galore, including in 100m and 200m. He had become the first and only man to win 100m and 200m medals for three years in a row in 2016, before he announced his retirement in 2017.
