Oliverios is Latin, Norse in Origin.

Oliverios is a Hellenized and Mediterranean form within the Oliver/Olivier name family, traceable to medieval Latin Oliverius/Olivarius and reinforced by Old French Olivier. Its rise in Europe owes much to the 11th‑century Chanson de Roland, where the knight Oliver popularized the name in courtly and ecclesiastical circles. In Greek records it appears as Ολιβέριος (Oliverios), while Iberian and Italian documents more often show Oliverio/Oliviero; the -ios ending aligns with Greek masculine naming patterns.

Etymology is debated: some link it to Latin oliva “olive (tree),” while a Germanic root (alf “elf” + hari “army”) has also been proposed. Modern usage overwhelmingly associates Oliverios with the olive tree and its symbols of peace and fruitfulness. Variants and cognates include Oliverio (Spanish/Italian), Olivério (Portuguese), Oliviero (Italian), Olivier (French), Oliver (English), and Olivér (Hungarian); feminine counterpart: Olivia. Nicknames include Oli and Lio. Today, Oliverios is rare yet recognizable in Greek-speaking and Hispanic communities.
