History & Origin
Mollee is a respelling of Molly, itself the affectionate English pet form of Mary — and Mary comes from Hebrew Miriam, a name whose original sense has been argued over since antiquity. Molly has been used as an independent name in English for centuries; the -ee ending is a modern, informal touch. Mollee is rare and reads as cheerful and homespun (said 'MAH-lee').
It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., far behind Molly. Rare, cheerful, and easygoing.
