History & Origin
Jolynne belongs to the great mid-century vogue for Jo- and -lyn blends that also produced Jolene, Joleen, and Jolyn. It appears in United States records from the mid-nineteen-forties and reaches its small high in 1964.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, though it lingered in the records into the twenty-tens. A girl named Jolynne at the high point would be in her early sixties today, and she may have gone by Jo or Lynne for short.
