Dollee is English in Origin.
Dollee is a modern respelling of Dolly, a long-standing English pet form of Dorothy and, less often, Dolores. Through Dorothy (medieval form of the Greek Dorothea), it carries the meaning "gift of God" (doron + theos); through Spanish Dolores, derived from Latin dolor, it can signify "sorrows," a reference to the Marian title Nuestra Senora de los Dolores. The -ee ending gives Dollee a contemporary, playful sheen while retaining vintage charm.
As Dolly/Dollie, the name appears in Britain and colonial America from the 17th-18th centuries, becoming an independent given name by the Victorian era. Notable echoes include First Lady Dolley Madison (variant spelling) and entertainer Dolly Parton, with modern pop-culture boosts from "Dolly" the cloned sheep. Related forms and cognates include Dolly, Dollie, Dolley, Dorothy, Dorothea, Dora, Thea, and from the Dolores line Lola and Lolita. Dollee itself remains rare, offering a distinctive twist on a familiar nickname name.
