What does Mollie mean?
/ˈmɑli/2 syllables

Mollie, or Molly, developed as a traditional pet form of Mary, a name that goes back to the Hebrew Miryam; its own meaning is debated, though 'beloved' and 'bitter' are both commonly cited. Mollie is also, separately, the everyday name for a small livebearing aquarium fish, the molly.

Mollie is cheerful and companionable, a name that suits a lively, affectionate pet who's always underfoot in the best way. It has an old-fashioned warmth that never feels stuffy.
