The history of the last name Olinde

The surname OLINDE has its origins in France, stemming from the Old French word "olinde," which referred to a type of olive tree. This name likely emerged during the Middle Ages, though its exact origins are uncertain.

OLINDE is believed to have originated in the southern regions of France, particularly in areas known for olive cultivation, such as Provence and the Languedoc region. The name may have initially been used to identify individuals who worked with or traded in olives.

Historical records mentioning the surname OLINDE are scarce, but it is possible that it appeared in local parish registers or tax records from the 13th or 14th centuries. Unfortunately, no specific references to this name have been found in major historical documents like the Domesday Book.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname OLINDE was Pierre Olinde, a merchant from Marseille who lived in the late 15th century. Another notable figure was Jean Olinde, a farmer from the village of Arles who was born around 1520.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the OLINDE surname spread to other parts of France, as well as to neighboring countries like Switzerland and Italy. A few notable bearers of this name include:
