Olley is a cheerful masculine name with two origins, granting you and baby the freedom to choose your favorite. A sweet nickname for Oliver, Olley’s Latin roots give it the nature-infused meaning “olive tree.” In Greco-Roman mythology, extending an olive branch symbolizes peace—a tradition that dates back to Ancient Greece. Olley is also a British surname derived from the Anglo-Norman French olier, once used to define someone who sold or extracted oil from nuts and seeds.
