Bollivar Origin and Meaning

The name Bollivar is a boy's name.

Bollivar is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Bolivar, which originated as a surname before being adopted as a given name. It gained prominence through Simón Bolívar, the revolutionary leader who helped several South American countries gain independence from Spain. The name carries strong connotations of leadership, liberation, and revolutionary ideals. Bollivar remains quite rare as a first name in most countries but has seen some usage in Latin American communities and among those honoring the historical legacy of Simón Bolívar. The unusual spelling with double 'l' gives this variant a distinctive quality while maintaining its connection to its historical roots.
