Olof von Feilitzen (31 August 1908 – 29 June 1976) was a Swedish philologist who specialised in Old English names.
Olof von Feilitzen was born on 31 August 1908 and studied at the University of Uppsala, where he taught as a docent in the English Department.
He joined the department of acquisitions at the Royal Library in Stockholm and worked there as its Head for over twenty years before retiring in 1974.
[2] Professor Kenneth Cameron wrote in an obituary for The Times that von Feilitzen "won great acclaim and affection for his outstanding work in the field of early English personal names.
His doctoral thesis ... was received by both philologists and medieval historians as the most important study of its kind to date, and it is a tribute to [his] scholarship that it is still today one of our most valuable reference books".
