About the name Iolanda
Behind the Name gives Iolanda as the Portuguese form of Yolanda, which would come from the medieval French Yolande, probably a form of Violante and thus from the Latin viola, 'violet', or else of Germanic origin. Wiktionary describes Yolanda as a medieval royal name of obscure origin, probably Germanic, which has been identified with Violante and with the Greek íon, 'violet', and ánthos, 'flower'. For that reason, the meaning of Iolanda is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 41,850 people named Iolanda, with a median age of 59. The name is almost always female and, proportionally, most common in Rio Grande do Sul; the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Hiolanda and Iolanda among the spelling variants of Yolanda.
