Polline Origin and Meaning

The name Polline is a girl's name.

Polline is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Pauline, derived from the Latin name Paulus meaning 'small' or 'humble.' Alternatively, it could connect to Apollo in Greek mythology, or relate to 'pollen' suggesting flowering and fertility. This uncommon name has appeared sporadically across European contexts, particularly in France and Italy. Polline has a delicate, melodious quality with its soft consonants and flowing rhythm. Though not widely used in contemporary naming practices, it appeals to parents seeking something distinctive with classical undertones. The name's rarity means bearers are unlikely to encounter others sharing their name, giving it a certain exclusivity and individual character.
