History & Origin

Joelee is a modern American compound in the tradition of Marilee and Annalee. Its first half may be Jo (from Josephine or Joanna) or Joel — Hebrew Yoel, 'the Lord is God'; its second is Lee, Old English leah, 'clearing, meadow'. Since either reading works, we flag the routes as uncertain (said 'JOH-uh-lee').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, easygoing, and compound.

Did you know? Joelee reads two ways — Jo plus Lee, or a feminine turn on Joel ('the Lord is God'). The routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'JOH-uh-lee').
