Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old Norse “anu *laiƀaR > læfan > ÓlæifR > Ólafr,” meaning “to shine, gleam, elf, supernatural being, a descendant of ancestors, relic of the ancestors, legacy of ancestors.” Olaf II Haraldsson, later known as St. Olaf, was King of Norway from 1015 to 1028. He was posthumously given the title Rex Perpetuus Norvegiae (English “Norway’s Eternal King”) and canonized in Nidaros (Trondheim) by Bishop Grimkell, one year after his death in the Battle of Stiklestad on 29 July 1030. Olaf is a cognate of the name “Oliver” and its variants.
