About the name
Hollis is Old English — "dweller by the holly trees" — the winter-green surname that stays sharp and bright when everything else drops its leaves.
Rare and genuinely unisex, Hollis offers Holly's botany with a pinstripe finish.
Two crisp syllables with Hol and Liss as keys either direction. It pairs well with soft middles (Hollis Jane, Hollis Emmanuel). On our vibe map it is Nature-Inspired evergreen with Heirloom hedgerows and Modern Minimalist trim.
