Origin

• From Middle English Oliver, from Old French Olivier, by folk etymology derived from the Latin name Oliverius, but probably representing an Old High German form of Old Norse Óleifr ("ancestral + relic") (modern Danish Olaf and Swedish Olof), or Proto-Germanic *ala- ("all") + *wēraz (modern Swedish allvar). Name of a paladin of Charlemagne in medieval French romance.
