Roots of the Oliver lastname in Britain are a corruption of 'Holiver" (holy fare - pilgrimage, pilgrim) Cf. "DenVER" (-ver = fare)
[edit]Words and names begining with "h" are known to sometimes get dropped espicially so before an "o". Likewise "h" is known to be often swapped for "g" - hence "Gulliver's Travels" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulliver%27s_Travels — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.47.130 (talk) 01:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
