Name Profile

Yolanda

A feminine name of Spanish origin, Yolanda has a soft and sprightly lilt that matches its charming meaning, “violet flower.” The movie Yolanda and the Thief introduced this classic name to the masses in the mid-20th century, but it has lost popularity in recent times. It certainly deserves a comeback, and you deserve the opportunity to kick start a brand new trend!
