Appolline is Greek in Origin.

Appolline is a French variant spelling of Apolline, the feminine form ultimately derived from Latin Apollonia and the Greek theonym Apollon (Apollo). It signifies “belonging to Apollo,” and by extension evokes sun, light, music, and harmony. The doubled p and l in Appolline are orthographic flourishes seen in modern French/Belgian usage, though Apolline is the most common contemporary form.

The cult of Saint Apollonia of Alexandria (3rd century), patron of dentists, carried the name through late antiquity and medieval Europe; her feast is 9 February in Western calendars. Appolline/Apolline appears in French parish records from the 17th–18th centuries, waned in the 20th, and has revived in France and francophone countries since the 2000s. Close variants and cognates include Apolline (Fr.), Appoline, Apollonia (Eng./It.), Apolonia (Sp./Pl.), Apolónia (Pt.), and Apollinaria/Apollinariya (Ru.). Related forms and nicknames include Lina, Lili, and the Russian Polina; masculine counterparts are Apollinaire (Fr.) and Apollon.
