Oliveri is Italian in Origin.

Oliveri is an Italian and Sicilian patronymic form stemming from the medieval given name Oliviero/Oliverio, itself related to Old French Olivier. The ultimate etymology is often linked to Latin oliva, "olive tree," and by extension to ideals of peace and fruitfulness; some scholars also note a possible Germanic root (Alfihar "elf army") later reshaped by association with the olive. As a contemporary given name, Oliveri carries a distinctly Italianate sound while echoing the broader European Oliver tradition.

Historically found chiefly as a surname across southern Italy, Oliveri appears in records from the late Middle Ages onward and spread worldwide with Italian emigration. As a first name, it is a modern, rarer choice influenced by surnames-as-given-names. Close variants and cognates include Olivieri, Oliverio, Oliviero, Olivero, Ulivieri (Italian), Olivier (French), Oliveira (Portuguese), and Oliver (English). Nickname options might include Oli, Livi, or Veri.
