📖 Über Olivier
Olivier ist die klassische französische Form von Oliver, verwurzelt im lateinischen 'Olivarius' und der zeitlosen Symbolik des Ölbaums — Sinnbild für Frieden und Weisheit. Der Name wurde im mittelalterlichen Epos 'Chanson de Roland' verewigt, als einer der weisesten Ritter Karls des Großen. In Frankreich war Olivier in den späten 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahren einer der beliebtesten Namen und erreichte 1970–71 Rang 5. Heute gilt er als distinguierter Klassiker, verbunden mit legendären Persönlichkeiten wie dem Schauspieler Laurence Olivier und dem Fußballer Olivier Giroud.
