Hollye

US Popularity Rank: 10536

Origin: British

Meaning: Holly tree

If baby is arriving during the holidays, Hollye is definitely a festive choice. Tracing back to the Old English word holden, Hollye means “holly tree.” This sweet name is typically given to girls and has traditionally been associated with winter celebrations. This twist on Holly reached its peak in the '60s, but its popularity has since dwindled since. Maybe baby will bring it back in a new cheery season.
