Spelling[edit]

Why is her name spelt 'Olympia' with a y, when the original is Olimpia? If no-one can explain in a reasonable time I'll change all occurrences to the orignal spelling. Safebreaker (talk) 22:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The letter "y" was pronounced the same as a short "i" in post-classical Latin. Both versions would have been correct during her lifetime, before spellings were standardized in modern languages. French secondary sources seem to prefer "Olympia," Italian ones "Olimpia," but I've seen it either way in English. It would probably be useful to add a note about this in the article lead. ~~~~ Mockingdove (talk) 22:02, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
