Where does the name Molly come from?
Molly is a medieval pet form of Mary. Behind the Name says it developed from Malle and Molle, other medieval diminutives, and Wikipedia explains the trick behind it: like other English nicknames from the Middle Ages, it swapped the r for an l. Wikipedia adds that Molly has also been used for Margaret and Martha since the 1700s, and as a name in its own right since at least 1720.
Other forms of Molly
Behind the Name lists Mollie, Polly and Pollie as variants of Molly, and Wikipedia adds Molli. Polly is Molly’s old rhyming twin, and Wikipedia says surnames such as Moll, Mollett and Mollison come from Molly.
Well-known Mollys
Molly Ringwald became a teen idol in John Hughes’s Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink. The “Unsinkable Molly Brown”, Margaret Brown, survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and urged the crew of Lifeboat No. 6 to go back for survivors; Debbie Reynolds played her on film in 1964. Behind the Name adds James Joyce’s Molly Bloom, of Ulysses.
