Yolanda

Yolanda, Yolanda, Jolanda Jolanda, Iolanda, Jolanta or Jolantha is a female first name. Other variants are Violante, Yolande, Yolanthe and Yolanda and the short forms Jole, Yola and others. He comes possibly from the Greek name Iolanthe [ from gr ιολη ( iole ) for purple and gr ανθος ( anthos ) for flower].

Since the comedy crash to Iolanta from August Hinrichs (1930 ), in which a pig has this name, the first name in Germany has fallen into disuse. Named after people with the name Yolanda are the band Yolanda Be Cool Yolanda and the Plastic Miriam Lenk.
