Lollie is of American origin, derived from the nickname 'Lolly', which is itself a shortened form of 'Charlotte'. This sweet and playful name gained popularity in the late 20th century and has since been used as both a given name and a nickname for those named after the more traditional Charlotte. Lollie is often associated with youthfulness, creativity, and a dash of whimsy.
The name Lollie has had a fluctuating popularity over the past century and a half, with peaks and troughs in its usage. It appears to have been quite popular during the late 1800s, with a significant spike in 1892 when there were 26 births bearing this name. However, it seems that Lollie was much less favored in the early to mid-1900s, with fewer than 10 births per year between 1905 and 1943 inclusive. There's a slight resurgence in its usage from the late 1940s onwards, but it remains relatively uncommon today, with only 6 births recorded in 2021 and 5 in 2022. Overall, there have been a total of 1025 births named Lollie since 1880.
