Jola is Polish, Yoruba in Origin.
Jola is a feminine name most common in Poland, where it functions as a familiar short form of Jolanta or Jolanda - the Polish/Slavic counterparts of Yolanda. The Yolanda family descends from medieval French Yolande and became intertwined with Violante and the Greek-influenced Iolanthe; all are tied etymologically to the violet (Latin viola or Greek ion + anthos), giving Jola the sense of “violet” or “violet flower.” Polish pronunciation is roughly YO-lah.
As an independent given name, Jola appears in Poland from the mid‑20th century, buoyed by the popularity of Jolanta, and occurs across Central Europe as a pet form. Its wider lineage includes noble bearers such as Blessed Jolenta (Yolanda) of Poland and several medieval queens named Yolanda/Violante. Related forms and variants include Jolanta, Jolanda, Yolanda, Iolanda, Jolán (Hungarian), and Iolanthe; Polish diminutives alongside Jola include Jolka.
