What is the meaning of the name Paoli ?

The baby name Paoli is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced PAH-oh-lee.

Paoli is Italian, Latin in Origin.

Paoli is Italian in immediate form, tied to Paolo, the Italian continuation of Latin Paulus. Paulus is the earliest secure form, a Roman cognomen built from the adjective paulus, little or small. As a surname, Paoli reflects a patronymic formation: the final -i commonly signals descendants or household affiliation, not a separate given-name ending.

Medieval evidence places the family name in Liguria, with Genoese references to Gherardo de Paolo in 1315. Its Christian currency rests on Saint Paul, while later bearers include Blessed Angelo Paoli, Pasquale Paoli of Corsica, and singer Gino Paoli. Related forms include Paolo, Paola, Paula, Paulus, Pauli, De Paoli, De Paolis, and Paolini. As a feminine baby name, Paoli is uncommon in modern use and retains a surname-like character.
