What is the meaning of the name Iolanda ?

The baby name Iolanda is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /i.oˈlanda/ (ee-oh-LAN-dah),/joʊˈlændə/ (yo-LAN-dah).

Iolanda is Greek, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Iolanda is the Italian and Portuguese form of Yolanda, also used in modern Greek. The name ultimately traces to medieval French Yolande, a Romance reshaping of Violante, from Latin viola "violet." From the 19th century, it was often linked to the Greek form Iolanthe ("violet flower," ion + anthos), reinforcing the floral meaning.

The name flourished in medieval Europe among nobility: Yolande of Aragon (Duchess of Anjou and Queen of Naples), Yolande de Dreux (Queen of Scotland), and, later, Italian princess Iolanda di Savoia kept it in the public eye. In Italy and Portugal, Iolanda peaked in the early to mid-20th century and remains familiar though less common today. International variants include Yolanda (Spanish, English), Yolande (French), Jolanda (German, Dutch, Italian), Jolande (Dutch, German), Jolanta (Polish, Lithuanian), Iolanthe (English literary), and Violante (historical Iberian/Italian). Short forms include Yola and Iola.
