Jolana is Czech, Slavic in Origin.
Jolana is a Czech and Slovak feminine given name derived from Jolanta, itself a Central European form of Yolanda. Through either medieval French Yolande/Violante (from Latin viola "violet") or the Hellenized Iolanthe (ion "violet" + anthos "flower"), the name carries the meaning "violet" or "violet flower." It likely entered Czech and Slovak usage via Polish and Hungarian circles where related forms were popular among nobility and via the cult of Blessed Jolenta (Yolanda) of Poland.
In civil records the name is attested from the late 19th century, gaining wider familiarity in the 20th century and remaining recognizably regional. Variants include Jolanta (Polish, Lithuanian), Jolanda (Italian, Slovenian/Croatian), Iolanda (Portuguese/Italian), Yolanda/Yolande (Spanish/French), Violante (medieval Romance), and the literary Iolanthe. Hungarian Jolán and Polish diminutive Jola are close relatives. Common diminutives in Czech and Slovak are Jolinka, Jolka, and Lana. The name evokes floral elegance with a vintage Central European tone.
