Sallie is an English given name, a diminutive of Sarah. It was particularly popular during the late Victorian era and early 20th century in the United States and Britain. The name Sallie has a warm, friendly sound, often associated with simplicity and sincerity.
The name Sallie appears to have been quite popular in the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries, with a total of 135 babies named Sallie born between 1897 and 1952. The peak years for this name seem to be around the early 1920s and again in the late 1920s to early 1930s, with several years seeing more than six or seven births each. However, there were also some periods of decline, such as between 1900 and 1911, and again from the mid-1930s onwards.
