Meaning & origin

Lallie is a rare, primarily feminine name that appeared briefly in the United States. The Social Security Administration's data shows its first recorded year was 1890, and it reached a peak in 1900, after which it rapidly declined and was no longer recorded. This trajectory indicates a name of very limited usage, likely a regional or family nickname. Though it never achieved rank or a measurable 1-in-N frequency, its brief flourish at the turn of the century aligns with the fashion for diminutive, ending-in-'ie' or 'y' names. No top states are associated with Lallie, further highlighting its rarity. The name's etymology is uncertain, but it likely originated as a pet form of longer names like Lillian or Alice, common in that era.

Lallie first appeared in U.S. records in the 1890s, with a peak in 1900. It is likely a diminutive or affectionate nickname, possibly derived from names like Lala or Lally, or as a pet form of Lillian or Alice. Its usage was brief and rare, primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
