About Auliffe
Auliffe is the Anglicized form of Amhlaoibh, an Old Norse name meaning "to shine, gleam, elf, supernatural being, a descendant of ancestors, relic of the ancestors, legacy of ancestors." It is a cognate of the name "Oliver," which shares a similar Old Norse origin. The name became popular in Scandinavia thanks to Olaf II Haraldsson, who reigned as King of Norway from 1015 to 1028 and later became known as St. Olaf. He was canonized a year after his death, earning the posthumous title of "Norway's Eternal King."
