The noble Spanish surname Olmera is of locative origin, being derived from the topographic or man made feature where the initial bearer resided. In this case, Olmera derives from the Castilian element "olmeda," in turn derived from a contraction of "olmo" meaning "elm tree," plus the suffix "eda," meaning "abundance." Thus, the surname Olmera was used to identify a person who lived in a place where many elm trees grew.
