The surname OLLERVIDES is believed to have originated in Spain during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Spanish words "oller" meaning "potter" and "vides" meaning "vines," suggesting a connection to the pottery or winemaking trades.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulario de Vallbona, a medieval manuscript from the Valencian region of Spain, dating back to the 13th century. This document mentions an individual named Pere Ollervides, who was likely a potter or vintner living in the area at that time.

Another notable early reference is in the Llibre del Repartiment, a record of the distribution of lands and properties following the Christian conquest of Valencia in the 13th century. This text includes several entries for individuals with the surname Ollervides, indicating they were among the early settlers in the region.

In the 15th century, there are records of a family named Ollervides residing in the town of Xàtiva, near Valencia. This family is believed to have played a significant role in the local pottery industry, which was renowned for its intricate ceramic wares.

One of the earliest documented individuals with this surname was Juan Ollervides, born in Xàtiva in 1458. He was a renowned potter and is credited with introducing new glazing techniques that helped elevate the quality of Valencian ceramics.

Another notable figure was María Ollervides, born in 1512 in Valencia. She was a skilled potter and is believed to have been one of the first women to run her own pottery workshop in the region.

In the 16th century, the Ollervides name can be found in various records from the city of Alicante, where several members of the family were involved in the local wine industry.

One such individual was Pedro Ollervides, born in Alicante in 1567, who owned a successful vineyard and was known for producing high-quality wines that were exported across the Mediterranean.
