Olas is of Yoruba origin, meaning "Wealth" in that language. It is predominantly used as a masculine given name and can be found primarily in West African countries like Nigeria and other regions with significant Yoruba populations. The name Olas has gained some international recognition due to its use by notable figures such as Nigerian musician Olasehinde 'Olas' Kuburo, popularly known by his stage name Olamide. However, it remains relatively uncommon outside of Africa, lending it a unique and distinctive quality.
"Olas was quite popular in 1913 with five births recorded that year."
