Meaning & origin
Hollace is a rare given name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1938. It reached its peak frequency in 1946, but even then it was an uncommon choice. The name has remained stable in usage since the mid-20th century, and as of 2025 it still does not appear in the top 1000. Its obscurity may appeal to parents seeking an unusual name with a classic sound. The top states where Hollace has been recorded are not numerous, reflecting its scattered, low-frequency use.
The name Hollace is likely a variant of Hollis, which derives from the Middle English 'holis,' meaning 'holly trees.' It may also be a respelling of the English surname Hollace, which has roots in a place name or topographical feature. The name saw modest use in the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States, but has remained relatively rare.
