Dollie Origin and Meaning

The name Dollie is a girl's name.

Dollie is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Dorothy (meaning 'gift of God') or Dolores (meaning 'sorrows'). Popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Dollie has a distinctly vintage charm that evokes the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The name's association with the word 'doll' adds to its sweet, feminine quality. While Dollie experienced a significant decline in usage during the mid-20th century, it has potential for revival amid the trend of reclaiming nostalgic 'grandmother names.' Dollie offers a playful, affectionate quality with its '-ie' ending while maintaining connections to more formal traditional names.
