Zoli

Zoli is primarily known as a Hungarian diminutive, often of names like Zoltán (for males) or Zóra (for females). While Zoltán has Turkic origins meaning 'sultan' or 'ruler,' Zóra is a Hungarian form of Zora, which itself has Slavic roots meaning 'dawn' or 'aurora.' The use of 'Zoli' as a standalone female name is less common but does occur, drawing its meaning and feminine association from Zóra.

Its usage as a female name is relatively modern and often informal, functioning as a nickname that has gained some independent use. The softness of the sound and its association with 'dawn' contribute to its appeal as a feminine given name, particularly in Hungary and among Hungarian diaspora.
