Yolanda

• I like this name because it’s so rare that you will probably never meet another one, but it still sounds beautiful and can be shortened. For example, I know someone with this name, and we all call her Yoly.
• When it comes to favorite names, the bottom line is that a good name sounds good. Yolanda flows nicely, starting with a soft but bouncy "y" and ending with a feminine "a". When it comes to original names...... the bottom line is that no one else has it!

The origin of the name Yolanda is ultimately unknown. It exists in French as Yolande, which may stem from an unknown Germanic name, or may come from the medieval French Violante, which comes from the Latin word for "violet." It is listed in many baby name books as meaning "purple," but that is probably due to the "violet" association.
