Nollie is an uncommon given name of Dutch origin, derived from the Dutch surname 'Nolte'. It means 'noble' or 'famous warrior', which reflects its noble roots. The name Nollie gained some popularity in the Netherlands during the late 20th century but has since become quite rare. Today, it is often associated with surf culture, as professional surfer Nolan 'Nollie' Meade from South Africa popularized a skateboarding trick called the 'nollie', which was named after him despite his name being spelled differently.
"The name Nollie experienced consistent popularity between 1913 and 1953, with notable peaks in the late 1920s and early 1930s."
