Olaf or Olav (, , or British ; Old Norse: ''Ólafr'', ''Ōleifr'', ''Anleifr'') is a Scandinavian given name. It is presumably of Proto-Norse origin, reconstructed as '' *Anu-laibaz'', from ''anu'' "ancestor, grand-father" and ''laibaz'' "heirloom, descendant". Old English forms are attested as ''Ǣlāf'', ''Anlāf''. The corresponding Old Novgorod dialect form is ''Uleb''. In Norwegian, ''Olav'' and ''Olaf'' are historically equally common, but Olav is traditionally used when referring to Norwegian royalty of that name. The Swedish form is ''Olov'' or ''Olof''. The name was borrowed into Old Irish and Scots spelled ''Amlaíb'' and ''Amhlaoibh'', giving rise to modern ''Aulay'' (see also Mac Amhlaoibh and Mac Amhalghaidh (Irish septs)). The name is Latinized as ''Olaus''. == Medieval bearers == Norse (Scandinavia): *Olaf Haraldsson Geirstadalf, petty king *Olaf I of Norway Tryggvason, 969 – 9 September 1000 *Olaf II of Norway, or Saint Olaf, ruled 1015–1030 *Olaf III of Norway, king 1067–1093 *Olaf Magnusson (formerly IV) of Norway, 1103–1110 *Olaf IV of Norway, king 1370 – 23 August 1387; was also Olaf II of Denmark *Olav V of Norway, king 1957–1991 *Olaf I of Denmark, king 1086–1095 *Olaf II of Denmark was also Olaf IV of Norway *Olaf of Sweden (disambiguation) (I, II and III) *Oluf Haraldsen (died c. 1143) was a Danish nobleman who ruled Scania for a few years from 1139 Norse-Gaelic: Not all the following were strictly Norse-Gaels, but simply share one of the most common Norse-Gaelic names. * Olaf the White, 9th century sea-king * Amlaíb Conung (King Olaf), King of Dublin, possibly identical with Olaf the White * Olaf Sihtricson (Amlaíb Cuarán), Norse-Gael king of Northumbria and king of Dublin * Olaf III Guthfrithson (Amlaíb mac Gofraid), king of Dublin * Amlaíb of Scotland, king of Scotland * Amlaíb Cenncairech (Olaf Sinful-Head), ruler of Limerick (in Ireland) * Auliffe Mór O'Donoghue (Olaf the Great), regional Irish king * Amlaíb Ua Donnubáin (Auliffe O'Donovan), regional Irish king Of Mann and the Isles: * Olaf I of Mann, also called Olaf Godredsson (c. 1080–1153) * Olaf II the Black, also called Olaf Godredsson (1173/4–1237), King of Mann and the Isles 1229–1237. ;Novgorod Republic (in Russia) * Uleb Ragnvaldsson - son of Ragnvald Ulfsson jarl of Staraja Ladoga (Aldeigjuborg), military leader of Novgorod Republic in conquering of Yugra in 1032. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olaf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
