“Possibly holly tree”

Possibly related to Hollis, an English surname derived from Middle English holis ('holly trees'), originally given to someone who lived near a group of holly trees; the word holly itself traces to Old English holegn, probably from an ancient root meaning 'to prick', after the plant's spiny leaves. In the United States it is also used as a rare given name, mainly for boys but occasionally for girls.
