Name Profile

Jolene

Though French in origin, Jolene is a feminine name that comes courtesy of the United States. A variation of the French jolie, meaning "pretty," Jolene came to beguile the world through Dolly Parton's acclaimed country hit. Synonymous with a powerful seductress, all emerald eyes and fiery hair, it's no wonder Jolene has endured as a title for incomparable beauty. Here's to baby proving they are far more than a pretty face.
