Olgierd is Lithuanian, Polish in Origin.
Olgierd is the Polish form of Lithuanian Algirdas, a Baltic masculine name first securely attested with Algirdas, Grand Duke of Lithuania in the fourteenth century. The Lithuanian compound joins al-, an old element glossed as all or every, with gird- from girdėti, to hear, also seen in nouns connected with report or fame. Its literal sense is usually given as hears all or all-hearing.
Medieval chancery languages and neighboring vernaculars reshaped the name: Lithuanian Algirdas appears as Ruthenian Algird and Polish Olgierd, the form familiar from Polish histories of the Lithuanian grand duke, ruler from 1345 to 1377. In Poland it also gained literary visibility through Adam Mickiewicz’s Grażyna, where Olgierd names a Lithuanian duke. Modern use is chiefly Polish and Lithuanian, with variants such as Algirdas, Algierd, Alhierd, and Russian Olgerd, but it remains comparatively uncommon among recent births.
