What is the first name of Usain Bolt’s daughter born in 2020? Olympia. Her full name is Olympia Lightning Bolt, and she was born in May 2020 to Bolt and Kasi Bennett.
The child’s name was publicly revealed soon after her birth, when Bolt shared photographs and introduced her as Olympia Lightning. The first name has an obvious connection to her father’s Olympic identity, while “Lightning Bolt” echoes his famous nickname and surname.
Readers sometimes remember only “Lightning” because of the striking full name, but Lightning is not her first name. Olympia is the canonical answer to this question. Bolt and Bennett later welcomed twin sons, Thunder and Saint Leo, in 2021, which created another memorable weather-and-speed-themed naming connection in the family.
