Olvier

Olvier Origin and Meaning

The name Olvier is a boy's name.

Olvier appears to be a variant spelling of Oliver, a name with Medieval French origins derived from the Norse name Áleifr or the Old French 'Olivier.' The traditional Oliver means 'olive tree,' symbolizing peace and fruitfulness. This less common spelling variant may result from regional pronunciation differences or deliberate modification to create distinction. While not as widely used as the standard spelling, Olvier retains the sophisticated, strong character of Oliver. The name gained prominence through Roland's brave companion in the medieval 'Song of Roland' and has experienced renewed popularity in recent decades. Olvier offers a subtle twist on a classic name while maintaining its historic significance and appeal.
