Yolande is a Germanic-origin feminine name derived from 'yol', meaning 'willow' or 'elm tree', and 'land', meaning 'land', thus signifying 'land of willows' or 'land of elm trees'. First used in medieval France, Yolande was popular among French nobility, notably Yolande of Aragon. Though less common today, it remains a unique and elegant choice with historical significance and a nature-inspired meaning.
