Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Olivier je francúzska podoba mena Oliver, známa už zo stredovekej Piesne o Rolandovi. Jeho pôvod nie je jednoznačný: meno sa spája so starším germánskym osobným menom, prípadne so staroseverským Óláfr, no vo francúzštine sa významovo pripodobnilo k slovu olivier „olivovník“, odvodenému z latinského oliva.
