Jolaine

If you wish for baby to choose their own meaning, give them the name Jolaine. The moniker is typically given to girls, and its precise origins aren’t entirely certain, but it is thought to be a variation of Jolene. The name was created by combining Jo- and the popular feminine suffix -leen, -lyn, or -lene. Jo can derive from a variety of names, such as Joan, Joanna, or Josephine. Both Joan and Joanna come from John, the anglicized version of the Hebrew Yochanan, which signifies “Yahweh or God is gracious.” Josephine traces back to the masculine moniker Joseph, from the Hebrew Yosef, translating to “he will add.” Jolaine could also be a diminutive form of the French name Marjolaine. It stems from marjoram in French and maiorana in Latin, and is a minty herb. Whether you wish for baby to be closer to their faith or you’re a horticulture lover, Jolaine is a graceful name for your new addition.
