Appollyne is Greek in Origin.

Appollyne is an archaic French and Anglo-Norman form of Apolline, the French feminine of Latin Apollonia, ultimately from Greek Apollōn (Apollo). The sense is “belonging to Apollo,” invoking the god’s associations with light, music, healing, and prophecy. The spelling with -y- reflects late medieval orthography, where y often stood for i. Though Apollo’s own etymology is uncertain, the name Appollyne carries classical elegance and luminous overtones.

Used across medieval Europe as a devotional name honoring Saint Apollonia of Alexandria (3rd century), patron of teeth and dentistry, Appollyne appears in late medieval parish and legal records before yielding to streamlined forms. In modern French, Apolline is common; Appollyne survives as a rare, vintage variant. Related forms include Apollonia (Latin/English), Apolonia (Spanish/Polish), Apollonie (German/French), Apolena (Czech), and Russian Apollinariya/Apollinaria. Spellings vary - Apolline, Appoline, Appolline - and nicknames like Lina or Lolie sometimes occur.
