OLAF. Scandinavian.
From Old Norse Óláfr
(q.v.), meaning "forefather's
relic." (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
... In the year 852 Olaf
the White reached Ireland with a large fleet, and founded a Scandinavian
principality at Dublin...
The Scandinavian name Anleifr, Álefer, Óláfr was
rendered by Anláf in the Saxon Chronicle, and by Amhlabh in the Irish
Chronicles; thus Righ Amhlab was King Olaf the White in Dublin.
Olaf was a royal name in Man, and must at one time
have been common.
Aumond M'Olave was Bishop of Man from A.D. 1077-1100,
and Olaf or Olave, son of Godred Crovan, commenced his reign in 1102 or
1113. (Manx Names; or, The Surnames and Place-names of the Isle of
Man, Moore, 1906)
