Pauli is Latin in Origin.
Pauli is a masculine given name found chiefly in Finland and parts of the German- and Scandinavian-speaking world, functioning either as an independent form or as a familiar diminutive of Paul. It derives from Latin Paulus, meaning "small" or "humble," carried into many languages through the influence of the apostle Saint Paul. Pronunciation varies: Finnish roughly "POW-li," Germanic usage "POW-lee," and in English it often aligns with "Paulie."
Use rose in Finland in the 20th century alongside kindred forms Paavo and Paavali, and the name remains recognizable through bearers such as Olympic javelin champion Pauli Nevala. Related variants across languages include Paul (English/French/German), Paulus (Latin), Paolo (Italian), Pablo (Spanish), Pavel (Slavic), Paweł (Polish), Pál/Pål (Hungarian/Scandinavian), Pau (Catalan), and Pól (Irish). Feminine counterparts are Paula, Pauline, and Paulina. Diminutive or orthographic cousins include Pauly and Paulie.
