Hollie

Hollie is an English given name that developed as a variant spelling of Holly, itself derived from the Old English word holegn, referring to the holly tree and its distinctive evergreen leaves and red berries. The plant has long held symbolic associations with winter, good fortune, and later with Christmas festivities in Western tradition. Hollie gained popularity as a given name primarily in the twentieth century, following the broader trend of nature-inspired and botanical names for girls. Holly and Hollie are used interchangeably as variants of the same name.
