Oliver

Origine et signification de Oliver

Oliver draws on two roots: the Latin oliva, 'olive tree,' a symbol of peace and wisdom, and the Germanic Alfher, 'elf army,' later Latinised as Oliverus. Made famous by the knight Olivier of medieval epics, it is hugely popular across the English-speaking world — a long-time favourite in the UK — and much loved in Germany and Scandinavia too. Its quiet elegance and gentle tone win parents over.
