What is the meaning of the name Jolina ?

The baby name Jolina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced jo-LEE-nah (IPA: /dʒoʊˈliːnə/).

Jolina is English in Origin.

Jolina is a modern feminine given name formed by attaching the affectionate suffix -lina to the stem Jo-, the short form of Johanna/Joanna or Josephine. Through these roots it carries the meanings “Yahweh is gracious” (from Hebrew Yohanan) or “He will add/increase” (from Hebrew Yosef). It is also widely treated as a softened variant of Jolene/Joline, with occasional echo from French jolie “pretty.”

The name appears in late-20th-century records rather than medieval calendars, gaining notable use in German-speaking countries in the 1990s–2010s and enjoying broad familiarity in the Philippines, helped by pop-culture figures such as singer-actress Jolina Magdangal. Usage in English-speaking countries remains uncommon but recognizable. Established variants include Joline, Jolene, Joleen, and Jolena; related Dutch form Jolien is cognate by formation. Common diminutives are Jo, Joli/Jolie, and Lina.
