History & Origin

Yulanda is a variant of Yolanda, a name of medieval European tradition generally linked to the violet flower through forms like Violante and Iolanthe. Borne by medieval queens and long favored in Spanish and Italian families, Yolanda has a floral, romantic air. Yulanda carries that in a respelled form.

Yulanda crested around 1968, riding Yolanda's mid-century popularity, and faded by the late 1980s. A woman given it then is in her fifties now. The standard Yolanda is far more familiar, leaving Yulanda a period variant of a romantic classic.

Did you know? Yulanda swaps Yolanda's first vowel for a 'u', but keeps its medieval romance: the name is usually traced to the violet, by way of old forms like Violante.
