Hollice is English in Origin.

Hollice is a rare variant of Hollis, an English surname turned given name. Hollis comes from Middle English holis, “holly trees,” ultimately from Old English holegn. It began as a topographic surname for someone who lived near a stand of holly, so the name carries the meaning “dweller by the holly trees,” with a secondary sense of the evergreen itself and its winter symbolism.

As a first name, Hollis has long been unisex in the English-speaking world; Hollice surfaces in American records from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, used more often for boys but not exclusively. Usage today is uncommon, lending Hollice a tailored, vintage feel. Close variants and spellings include Hollis, Holliss, Holis, and Hollace; related nicknames are Holly and, less commonly, Lis.
