 Oliver
Oliver is most likely an English name meaning “Olive Tree,” from the Latin word “olivarius.” This theory is disputed, however, since no known Roman was actually named Olivarius.
The Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names (1977) suggests Oliver is another form of the Old German name, Alfihar, or the Old English Aelfhare, both of which mean “Elf Army,” from “aelf” (elf), and “heri” (army).
Oliver, although its etymology is disputed, was first noted as the name (Olivier) of one of Charlemagne’s (742-814) knights.
