Zollie is an uncommon given name of German origin, derived from the German word 'Söller', which means 'sundial'. The name is believed to have been popularized in England during the Victorian era. It has also been used as a nickname for individuals named Solomon.
The name Zollie has had varying popularity over the years, with a notable spike in births between 1914 and 1929. However, it seems to have declined in usage since then, with fewer than 10 births per year from 1957 onwards, and even fewer after 1968. There was a brief resurgence in the mid-1960s but overall, Zollie has become quite uncommon as a given name.
