History & Origin

Hollace is a genteel respelling of Hollis, from Old English roots meaning 'by the holly trees'. Once a surname, it drifted into use as a first name, and this -ace spelling gave it an especially feminine finish.

It was always scarce, with a small peak in the late nineteen-forties and only thin use afterward. It reads as an obscure vintage name today and has not been revived.

Did you know? Hollace shows how a surname could soften into a girl's given name in the early 1900s, its holly-grove meaning giving it a quiet, seasonal charm.
