What is the meaning of the name Jolanta ?

The baby name Jolanta is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced yo-LAHN-tah.

Jolanta is Latin, Old French, Polish in Origin.

Jolanta is the Polish form of Yolanda, transmitted through medieval French Yolande and Old French Yolant. The earliest medieval written forms are Latinized Violanta and Violante, built on Latin viola, the violet, with the feminine name-forming ending -anta/-ante. The Polish initial J represents the y sound, so the spelling preserves local orthography rather than a separate Slavic root.

In Central Europe, Jolanta developed as a vernacular counterpart to Yolande and Violanta, names borne by medieval aristocratic women in Iberian, French, and Hungarian-Polish dynastic circles. A key Polish association is Blessed Jolenta, also called Yolanda of Poland, a thirteenth-century princess and Poor Clare. Modern use is chiefly Polish and Lithuanian, with rare diaspora appearances; cognates include Yolanda, Yolande, Violante, and literary Iolanthe.
