Oliveira (surname)
de Oliveira, Oliveira and d'Oliveira are surnames found mainly in Brazil and Portugal, and to a lesser extent in former Portuguese and Spanish colonies. In Portuguese, 'de Oliveira' means 'of the Olive Tree' and/or 'from the Olive Tree'. 'de Oliveira' is also a Sephardic surname, used prior to the start of the Portuguese Inquisition as a way for Jews to avoid prosecution and under torture to become new Catholics. Since those people were targeted, and since Portugal had just recently discovered Brazil (1500), many of those people fled to Brazil and other colonies of Portugal. Similar names in other languages include the Italian Olivetti and Oliveto. Origin of the surname The surname identifies this family with the Olive Tree and the symbolic characteristics existing on the tree.
