Olzhas is a Kazakh masculine given name, an alternate transcription of the Kazakh name Oljas. It derives from the Kazakh word olja, meaning "plunder, spoils" (from Arabic al-ghulūl via Persian). The name reflects a historical tradition among Turkic peoples of naming children based on circumstances of birth or hoped-for qualities, such as strength and valor in battle.

In the nomadic steppe culture of the Kazakhs, bravery in raiding and defending one's tribe was a revered virtue, and such names served as aspirational markers. Over time, the name became popular in the modern era, particularly among Kazakhs, and retains a cultured, traditional association while remaining in active, non-antiquated use.
