I'm sorry but...
Apparently (and I'm not making this up) is the occupational name for a brothel keeper. From the Middle English and Old French 'hol(l)ier'. Although it may have also been just an abusive nickname. But it's an interesting surname all the same, better than just being a Smith or Brown. :)---------------------------------------
