Joleen Origin and Meaning

The name Joleen is a girl's name.

Joleen is a feminine name that emerged as a variation of Jolene, which itself is likely a combination of Jo (from Josephine) and the suffix -leen or -lene. The name gained recognition through Dolly Parton's 1973 hit song 'Jolene,' though this alternate spelling provides a slight distinction. With French and English influences, Joleen carries a soft, melodic quality with its two syllables and smooth sound. The name peaked in popularity during the 1970s but remains relatively uncommon today, making it both recognizable and distinctive. Joleen suggests a balance of sweetness and strength, often associated with a Southern charm partly due to its country music connections.
