Joline

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Joline: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1976.

Joline is a modern feminine name, primarily a variant of Jolene, which emerged in the United States in the early 20th century as a blend of Jo and the popular suffix -lene. While no major historical figures bear this exact spelling, the name became globally familiar through Dolly Parton's iconic 1973 song "Jolene," though Joline remains the less common form. It also shares a root with the Greek name Yolanda, meaning "violet flower," giving it a subtle floral connection. In Scotland, Joline appears occasionally as a gentle, melodic alternative to more widespread names, offering a touch of distinctiveness without straying too far from familiar sounds. No major place connections exist, but its lyrical quality makes it a sweet, understated choice for parents drawn to modern yet timeless-sounding names.
