History & Origin
Jolane belongs to the Jo- naming wave. It appeared from the mid nineteen-thirties, reached a modest high in 1940, and stayed a minority choice beside the better-known Jolene.
The name was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, and had faded by the mid nineteen-seventies. A woman named Jolane at that early peak would be in her mid eighties today, from a generation fond of Jo- blends.
