Joline is English in Origin.

Joline is a modern English feminine given name, most commonly a spelling variant of Jolene. It arose by attaching the fashionable mid‑20th‑century suffix -lene/-line to Jo, the nickname for Josephine or Joanna. Because Jo can abbreviate Hebrew-rooted Josephine (“he will add/increase”) or Joanna (“Yahweh is gracious”), Joline is often interpreted with either sense, sometimes loosely glossed as “little Jo.” A secondary folk etymology links it to French jolie (“pretty”), which likely influenced its appeal but is not its primary source.

Usage appears in the United States from the 1940s, with a lift after Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit “Jolene,” and the Joline spelling also occurs in Germanic and Scandinavian records from the 1990s onward. Variant forms include Jolene, Joleen, Joeline, Jolyne, and Jolien; related compound names are Jolynn and Jolena. The name’s style blends vintage Jo- familiarity with a sleek -line ending, giving Joline a timeless yet contemporary impression.
