Youlanda

Youlanda is a variant spelling of Yolanda, a feminine name of Greek origin meaning 'violet flower.' The name came to English through medieval Spain, where it was introduced by the Visigoths. The spelling with 'You' instead of 'Yo' emerged as an alternate form, possibly to emphasize the pronunciation or give the name a more distinctive appearance. Youlanda peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, though this specific spelling was less common than Yolanda. The name conveys elegance and carries subtle floral associations while maintaining a strong, feminine sound. Its multicultural history makes it appealing across different cultural backgrounds.

Pronounced yoo-AHL-un-duh.

As of October 2026, Youlanda ranked #15441 in US births in 1991 SSA, peaked at #1676 in 1968.
