Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovenská podoba Jolana súvisí s maďarským menom Jolán. Toto meno rozšíril spisovateľ András Dugonics, ktorý v diele Jólánka (1803) nadviazal na staršie maďarské pomenovanie Jóleány, utvorené zo slov jó („dobrý“) a leány („dievča, dcéra“). Spájanie s menami Helena alebo Jolanta a s gréckymi slovami pre fialku a kvet nie je pre meno Jolana presvedčivo doložené.
