覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
popular を知っていれば核は見える語。『人気がある』からさらに広げて、『人々のあいだで広くそう思われている・そう呼ばれている』が popularly。特に be popularly known as ... で『一般に〜として知られる』は頻出。 officially が公式、formally が形式面なのに対し、popularly はあくまで世間の認識ベース。 many people believe / call it ... を一語に縮めた感覚で覚えると、単なる generally との違いも残りやすい。
Start from `popular`, then move from 'liked by many people' to 'known or called by many people.' `Popularly` often appears in `be popularly known as ...`, which is a very useful pattern. It is about public opinion, not official naming.

popularly の語源・成り立ち Etymology
popularly は popular＋-ly で、popular はラテン語 popularis「民衆の・人々に属する」、さらに populus「人々」にさかのぼります。もともと「人々の間で」という感覚なので、「一般的に」「通称で」の意味になると筋が通ります。関連語は popular, population。
Popularly is formed from popular and the adverb ending -ly. Popular comes from Latin popularis, meaning "of the people," from populus, "people." Because the word carried the idea of what belongs to or is known among ordinary people, popularly developed the sense of "commonly" or "by common use." Related words include popular and population.
