What is the origin of Oliver?

Oliver is largely used in the English and German languages. It is derived from Germanic origins. The meaning of the name is elf warrior; olive tree. Alfheri (Germanic) and Olivier (Old French) are old forms of Oliver. The name is possibly derived via Norman from the Old German 'alfihar', itself from the elements 'alf' (elf, supernatural being) and 'heri' (army, warrior) and thus meaning 'elf warrior'; the spelling of the name could have been influenced by the Latin 'olivarius' (olive tree). It was first borne as the French form Olivier by one of the knight companions of Roland in the medieval French poem 'La Chanson de Roland' or 'The Song of Roland'. The other paladins in the poem clearly bear Germanic names; therefore the name Olivier could also have evolved from a Germanic name, possibly from the Scandinavian Olaf.
