Meaning & History
Apolline is the French form of Apollonia, a name that traces its roots back to ancient Greek and mythology. Derived from the masculine Apollonios, which in turn comes from the name of the Greek god Apollo, Apolline carries the legacy of a deity associated with prophecy, music, art, and light. The name's ultimate origin, Apollo itself, is of uncertain etymology but may relate to the Indo-European root apelo- meaning "strength" or to an Anatolian god Appaliunas interpreted as "father lion" or "father light."
