Subject: Last name

I married an Olmi. I cannot find anything about his last name. His father faught in France during WWI for the allied troops. His father's father married a woman last name Gigli. We believe she was Jewish and was hidden in an orphanage. His father emigrated to Italy. There are to be Olmi's in Italy. But I am completely unable to figure out if his name is French or Italian or what it means, or if it came from somewhere else originally. The closest I've found is Olmos which is Spanish and means "elm tree." If anyone knows anything else, please share. Thanks!
