History & Origin

Nollie belongs to the wave of cosy, old-fashioned pet names being given as full names again. It shortens Nola, Magnolia, Noelle and even Olive, and appears as a short form in Dutch and Afrikaans too. There is no single documented meaning behind it, and the routes are uncertain, which we note. Warm, homely, and easy (said 'NOL-ee').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, vintage-sweet, and nickname-bright.
