History & Origin
Sollie is a diminutive of Solomon, from the Hebrew Shelomo, 'peace,' and occasionally of Saul. Like many affectionate short forms of its day it was given as a stand-alone first name, especially in the early twentieth century.
It was always rare, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak around 1916, and faded thereafter. A boy named Sollie then would be a great-grandfather today.
