Olmo is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Olmo is a masculine given name in Italian and Spanish contexts, from the common noun for the elm tree, ultimately from Latin ulmus. As a forename it remains uncommon: medieval records show it mainly as a byname or toponym in northern and central Italy, with a modest revival in the late 20th and 21st centuries with nature-inspired choices. In Spain it is much rarer as a given name, while Del Olmo and Olmos are frequent surnames and place names.

It denotes elm, long associated with steadfastness, shade, and partnership (the classical marriage of vine and elm) and with dream imagery in Virgil’s Aeneid. Variants and related forms include Ulmo (Latinized/poetic), Dell’Olmo, Dall’Olmo, Del Olmo, and Olmos (surnames), plus cognate tree-words such as English Elm, French Orme, and German Ulme. Usable equivalents in Italian and Spanish remain Olmo; feminine use is rare but possible in modern style-driven naming.
