History & Origin
Yoland rarely stood apart from Yolanda. It appeared from the mid nineteen-twenties, shadowed the parent's mid-century vogue, and reached a modest high in 1971.
The name stayed rare across its run and had faded by the late nineteen-eighties, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most. A woman recorded as Yoland at that peak would be in her mid fifties today, though she was very likely called Yolanda in daily life.
