Ove is the chief protagonist of 'A Man Called Ove,' a fiction work from Sweden. He is a retired railroad/construction worker living in a formal community. Through the course of the book, he learns to overcome the death of his wife, and become more open with his neighbors.
There are a small number of people in the United States who have named their children "Ovie." It's possible that this is a related name, though it could stem from Overton instead. I've seen websites which say both.My grandmother's name is Ovie; she was born around 1916/17 in Arkansas.
