Information
has glosseng: The masculine given name Oliver is of Germanic origin. The name (French: Olivier) was first used by one of Charlemagnes retainers—Olivier. The name is said to have been derived from the Late Latin olivarius, meaning "olive tree"; however, the names of Charlemagnes other retainers were of Germanic origin, and it is thought that the name is also a form of a Germanic name. It is suggested that the name could thus be a form of Olaf. The name, Oliver, was brought to England by the Normans.
