Lolly
[ˈlɑːli]Meaning
a hypocorism for given names such as Laura, formed by substituting l for r
Background Story
Lolly is a hypocorism for various given names, including the English name Laura. It arises because young children often have difficulty pronouncing the letter r, producing nicknames that substitute l for r, as in Dolly for Dorothy, Hallie for Harriet, Molly or Polly for Mary, and Sally for Sarah. It is recorded as a rare feminine given name in English.
