At least one source traces it as the nickname of a certain 16-year-old skateboarder in 1979.

Ollie as a technique was supposedly created in 1977. It was named so because the man who first invented it, Alan Gelfand, was nicknamed Ollie. According to the information here:

I think there’s a more accurate description in this book: A Secret History of the Ollie
