Lolly is in Origin.
Lolly is an English pet-form that most commonly shortens Laura/Laurel and Loretta, and also overlaps with Spanish Dolores via Lola/Lolita. As a diminutive built with the affectionate -y ending, it emerged in English-speaking records in the 19th century, occasionally standing alone as an independent given name. Depending on its root, its meaning can be “laurel, bay tree; victory” (from Latin laurus) or “sorrows” (from Dolores, a Marian title). The playful echo of “lolly” and “lollipop” adds a modern sweet, lighthearted feel.
Usage has been sporadic: seen in Britain and the United States from the late Victorian era, most often as a household nickname, with rare formal registrations in the early 20th century and scattered contemporary revivals. Variants include Lollie, Lolli, and Loli; related forms are Lola and Lolita. While chiefly feminine, Lolly has occasionally been used for Laurence/Lawrence in informal settings.
