Iolanny is Hawaiian in Origin.

Iolanny is a modern, ornamental feminine name most commonly encountered in Latin America and, to a lesser extent, in Portuguese‑speaking contexts. It likely arises as a creative respelling of Yolani/Yolany (with the historical interchange of Y and I in Iberian languages) and shows influence from the Hawaiian name ʻIolani. Variants and related forms include Iolani, Iolany, Yolani, Yolany, Yulani, Yulany, and the older Iolanda/Yolanda. The double‑n is a contemporary stylistic choice rather than a marker of different origin.

Meaning is usually taken by association with the Yolanda line, which traces back through French Yolande/Violante to Latin viola and ultimately Greek ion “violet,” yielding the sense “violet (flower).” Some parents also connect it to Hawaiian ʻIolani - “royal hawk” or “heavenly hawk” (ʻio “hawk” + lani “heavenly, royal”) - though this is a separate etymology. Usage is recent, with sporadic records from the late 20th century onward.
