First name origin & meaning: Scandinavian: Royal ancestor First name variations: Olin, Illee Last name origins & meanings:
- Spanish (Olán): variant spelling of holán
‘furbelow’, a kind of delicate white fabric frill (originally from
Holland, whence the name), used to adorn women’s skirts; possibly
therefore a metonymic occupational name for someone who made or sold
such frills. This name is found mainly in Mexico and Caribbean
Islands.
