Pollie is English in Origin.
Pollie is an English diminutive and variant spelling of Polly; Polly arose in Middle English as a rhyming alteration of Molly, itself a pet form of Mary (Hebrew Miryam). As a result, Pollie inherits the rich, debated meanings of Mary, commonly glossed as beloved, wished-for child, or drop/star of the sea. Some families also use Pollie as a pet form of Apollonia or Paulina/Polina, linking it to Apollo or to Latin paulus “small.”
Found in parish and census records across Britain and the United States, Pollie appears from the 1700s, with a crest in the 19th century’s fondness for -ie nicknames; today it reads as a sweet vintage choice. Variants and related forms include Polly, Polli, and the longer names Mary, Molly, Pollyanna, Apollonia, Paulina/Pauline, and Penelope (an occasional nickname route). Spelled Pollie, it feels slightly softer and more Victorian than Polly, while pronounced the same (POL-ee).
