The name "Olympics" is not an acronym, so there is no particular significance to each letter. It comes from the name Olympia, the sanctuary where the ancient Olympic games were held.
the word came from the place "mount Olympus" in Greece, a mountain. It is where they believed the god Zeus lived and the first olympic games were held there Hope this helped u guyzzz ;)
No. 1896 are the beginning of what we call the modern Olympic games. The first Olympic games started in 776 BC Olympia, Greece (hence the name 'Olympics') and were celebrated until AD 393.
Men were allowed to enter the Olympics but, young boys were also allowed, this was not determined by age but if the boy was bearded or not so their was no cheating. Women were also allowed in the case that they owned a horse that was being used; as long as it was a man. Other than that it was strictly boys and men. -Seamus There were no ancient Roman Olympics, there were the Gladiatorial sports and funeral games but no Olympics. The ancient Greeks held the Olympics which was called the Olympiad. Next time please check your facts before you spout random nonsense.

The ancient Olympic games were held in honor of the Greeks' chief god, Zeus. They were held at Olympia - hence the name Olympics.
It may seem like they are held there, but that isn't true. Rio isn't in Europe, the Los Angles games weren't in Europe just to name two.
