Joelene is in Origin.

Joelene is a modern English feminine given name, chiefly a variant spelling of Jolene. It likely arose in the mid-20th century in the United States, formed either by combining the nickname Jo (from Josephine or Joanna) with the -lene ending familiar from Eileen and Helene, or as an elaboration of the Hebrew name Joel. The latter traces to Yo’el, meaning “Yahweh is God.” While Jolene surged in recognition after Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit, the Joelene spelling has remained the rarer choice across English-speaking countries.

Because its formation is blended, Joelene carries multiple interpretive meanings: most commonly “Yahweh is God” when linked to Joel; otherwise it functions as a modern coinage without a single traditional sense, sometimes associated by folk etymology with French jolie, “pretty.” Variant forms include Jolene, Joleen, Joleene, Joeleen, Joeline, and Joeline/Joelyne; nicknames include Jo, Joey, Lena, and Lene.
