Meaning & origin
Sollie, a diminutive of Solomon, saw its peak usage in 1905 according to Social Security data. It was first recorded in 1896 and has maintained a stable trajectory, though it has never been a common name. As a nickname-turned-given-name, it reflects the early 20th-century trend of using informal forms formally. Today, Sollie is rare, with no recent rankings or top-state concentrations, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a vintage, underused name.
Sollie is a diminutive form of Solomon, derived from the Hebrew name Shelomo, which is based on shalom, meaning 'peace'. It was used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a nickname or given name, particularly in the United States.
