Apollonia is a beautiful and rare feminine given name of Latin origin, meaning "destroyer." It is derived from the male name Apollo, who was the god of prophecy, medicine, music, poetry, and light in Greek mythology. The name Apollonia has been used throughout history but remains relatively uncommon today, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a unique and meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Apollonia experienced periods of popularity and decline over the century and a half between 1885 and 1994. It peaked with 17 births in 1986 but was relatively uncommon throughout most of the period, with fewer than 10 births per year occurring from 1885 to 1917 and again from 1987 onwards.
