The name Apollos is contracted from either Apollonius or Apollodorus, probably the former. So at least it is written in full in Codex D (Act_18:24), and the variation seems to point to some very early tradition. Apollos was an Alexandrian, and the name Apollonius was common in Alexandria, probably owing to the fact that the first governor left by Alexander in his African province was so called.
