Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Jolán je maďarské ženské meno, ktoré rozšíril András Dugonics v románe Jólánka, Etelkának leánya z rokov 1803 – 1804. Vychádzal pritom zo stredovekého maďarského osobného mena Jóleán s významom „dobré dievča“ či „dobrá dievčina“. Tradičné spájanie mena s Jolantou a údajným gréckym významom „fialkový kvet“ sa nepokladá za spoľahlivo doloženú etymológiu.
