Oliver is one of Charlemagne's retainers in the 11th-century Song of Roland. The name was introduced to England by the Normans, where its form was possibly influenced again by its Anglo-Saxon cognate Alfhere.{{cite web |url=http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx |title=Learn about the family history of your surname |publisher=Ancestry.com |access-date=2 March 2010}}. The webpage cited the following book: {{cite book|title=A Dictionary of First Names|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=0-19-280050-7|year=1996}} It was commonly used in medieval England, but became rare after the Restoration because of the unpopularity of Oliver Cromwell. The name was revived in the 19th century, possibly inspired by the title character of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist (1838). Pet forms of the English given name include Ollie and, in medieval times, Noll.{{Cite web|title=Oliver Cromwell - Wikipedia|url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Cromwell|access-date=2021-02-14|website=en.m.wikipedia.org|language=en}}{{Circular reference|date=February 2021}}
