Molly-mae

Molly-mae Origin and Meaning

The name Molly-mae is a girl's name.

Molly Mae is a sweet, melodic feminine compound name combining two traditional favorites. Molly originated as a diminutive of Mary, derived from Hebrew meaning "bitter" or "sea of bitterness," though its modern association is purely affectionate with no bitter connotations. Mae, typically a variant spelling of May, evokes the springtime month and carries associations with freshness and renewal. The combination gained significant popularity in the 2010s, particularly in the UK following the rise to fame of influencer Molly-Mae Hague. The name has a charming, vintage quality while maintaining contemporary appeal, blending traditional roots with a modern, doubled-barreled style that many parents find appealing.
