Editing Olot (section)

== Etymology ==
The etymology of Olot is not clear and there are several hypotheses. According to the ''Crònica Universal de Catalunya'', Olot was founded by Ulo, former king of the dynasty of Atlanteans, (then called Siculus), with the name of ''Ulot.''<ref name="Piferrer">[https://books.google.com/books?id=4lUBAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA192 PIFERRER, Francisco ''Nobiliario de los reinos y señoríos de España'']</ref> Another theory, more widespread, is that the name comes from ''ala'' (wing in [[Catalan language|Catalan]]), because the city has been documented with the names ''Aulot'' and ''Alot''. For this reason, the coat of arms of Olot has a wing in reference to the name of the city.<ref name="Piferrer" />
