The surname Oliver has its roots in France, deriving from the Latin name "Oliverius," meaning "olive tree." It is believed to have been brought to Ireland by the Normans during their invasion in the 12th century.

The Norman invasion of Ireland led to the establishment of Anglo-Norman rule and the introduction of new surnames among the Irish population. The name Oliver quickly became Anglicized, adopting the Gaelic form "Ólibhéar" or "Ólaibhéir."

Over time, the surname Oliver spread throughout Ireland, with concentrations in counties Cork, Kerry, and Limerick. It became particularly associated with the southwest of the country.

The Oliver family played a prominent role in Irish history, with notable members such as William Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland during the mid-17th century. Cromwell's policies in Ireland during the Cromwellian conquest resulted in significant land confiscations and the displacement of many Irish families, including those bearing the surname Oliver.

Today, the surname Oliver remains common in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. It is a testament to the enduring influence of the Norman invasion and the blending of Gaelic and Norman cultures in Irish history.
