What Does the Name Olar Mean?
The given name Olar is rare, and no well-attested etymology for it as a personal name is available. It is not established as a form of the Old Norse name Óláfr, the source of Olaf, Olav, and Ola, and the resemblance to those names should not be treated as a family connection. The Romanian word olar, meaning "potter" and built on Latin olla ("pot"), stands behind the Romanian surname Olar and its variant Olaru, but there is no established evidence that this occupational word is the source of the name in its use as a given name.
