Oliveras is in Origin.

Oliveras is a Catalan surname-turned-given name derived from olivera, “olive tree,” ultimately from Latin oliva. The final -s marks a collective or locative sense in Catalan surnames, yielding the meaning “of the olive trees” or “from the olive groves.” The name arose across medieval Catalonia and the Balearic Islands as a toponymic identifying families who lived among or worked in olive orchards, and later traveled to Valencia and the Americas through migration.

As a contemporary first name, Oliveras remains rare but is occasionally chosen - often as a unisex option - in Catalan-speaking communities and among families who favor surname-names. It shares roots with Spanish Olivares, Portuguese Oliveira, Catalan Oliveres/Olivera, and relates to given names Oliver, Olivier, and Olivia. Short forms include Oli. Symbolically, it carries the olive’s associations with peace, endurance, and abundance, making Oliveras a distinctive alternative to Oliver.
