Appollyna is Greek in Origin.

Appollyna is a modern elaboration of Apollina/Apollonia, ultimately from Greek Apollōn (Apollo), the god of light, prophecy, and music. The name means “of Apollo” or “belonging to Apollo,” and by extension carries associations of radiance, artistry, and protection. Latin Apollonia passed into Church tradition and medieval Europe, yielding forms across languages.

Veneration of the 3rd‑century martyr Saint Apollonia of Alexandria - patron of dentistry - kept the name current in Christian calendars (feast 9 February), with revivals in Renaissance and contemporary times. International variants include Apollonia (English, German), Apolonia (Polish, Spanish, Portuguese), Apolline (French), Apollina/Apolina, Italian Apollonia, and Russian/Ukrainian Apollinariya (Apollinaria) and Polina. Diminutives and short forms include Polly, Pola, and Lina. Appollyna, with doubled p and y, remains rare and stylish, aligning with current rediscoveries of mythic and saintly names; masculine counterparts are Apollonios/Apollonio and Apolo.
