Origin: Swedish

Meaning: Ancestor's relic

Olle is a short and sweet respelling of Olaf, meaning "ancestor's relic." This masculine name is rooted in Old Norse Áleifr, which combines anu, meaning "ancestor," and leifr, which means "heir" or "descendant." Olle is most common among Swedish speakers, as the language descends from Old Norse. With a name that dates back to the Viking Era, baby will take pride in keeping it alive and adding to its legacy! They can also borrow some sunshiny spirit from the loveable snowman Olaf from Disney's Frozen.
