Jolene as a name
Jolene is a feminine given name that has both Hebrew and American origins. It is believed to be derived from the name Yael or Yaeli, which means “to ascend” or “mountain goat” in Hebrew.
In the United States, Jolene was popularized by the country singer Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit song “Jolene.” The name has since become increasingly popular as a first name for baby girls in the United States.
Jolene is a relatively unique and distinctive name, and it has a friendly and approachable sound to it. It can be a good choice for parents looking for a less common name that still has a recognizable and easy-to-pronounce quality.
