Jole
Jole Origin and Meaning
Jole is a masculine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Joel, a biblical name meaning 'Yahweh is God' in Hebrew, or possibly derived from the Italian name Iole, which comes from Greek mythology. In some contexts, it could be a shortened form of names like Joleon or a variant of the French Joly. Pronounced typically as 'jo-lee' or sometimes 'jole' (rhyming with 'hole'), this uncommon name has a simple, approachable quality with just two syllables. While rare in mainstream usage, Jole offers a fresh alternative to more common names like Joel or Cole. Its brevity and relatively intuitive spelling make it practical despite its uniqueness. The name carries a gentle, amiable quality that works well across various cultural contexts.
