Commentary

The element ollo- is well attested in Gaulish personal names, e.g. CIL XIII 3632 ollodag, 4159 ollognatus, AE 1994, 406 ollius, see AcS II: 841–850, Delamarre 2007: 228 et passim, KGP: 250 f., GPN: 237 f., Meid 2005: 136, 202 f. Lexically in Gaul. ollon 'big' (?) on the Chamalières tablet and ollo so prob. 'all that' on the Grafenstein tile (Stifter 2009b: 369), OIr. oll 'great, ample', W oll, Corn., Bret. oll 'all', see LEIA: O-20, DLG: 241, Dunkel 2014: 19, 593, Stifter 2024: 8 (etymology).
