The baby name Paulie is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAW-lee (IPA: /ˈpɔːli/).
Paulie is Latin in Origin.
Paulie is an affectionate English diminutive of Paul, from Latin Paulus, meaning “small” or “humble.” The name gained Christian prominence via the apostle Paul, helping it spread across Europe and later the English-speaking world. The -ie ending follows a common English nickname pattern that softens formal names, giving Paulie a warm, friendly tone suitable as a given name or nickname.
Usage of Paulie appears in British and American records from the late 19th century, with periodic boosts from popular culture (e.g., film and television characters). While most common for boys, Paulie can serve as a pet form for Paula, Pauline, or Paulina as well. Variant spellings include Pauly, Pauli, and Pauley; related forms of Paul in other languages include Pavel, Paolo, Pablo, and Pól, with diminutives such as Pablito and Paolino echoing the same humble meaning.
