Pollie

Pollie is an English feminine name that developed as a pet form of Poll, itself a medieval rhyming nickname for Mary, following the same pattern that produced Molly from Moll. The ultimate root is Mary, derived from the Hebrew name Miryam, whose precise meaning is debated but may relate to concepts of beloved or bitter. Pollie is closely associated with the more widespread form Polly, and both share ancestry with the long-established names Mary, Maria, and Marion.
