Jolin is of French origin and means "small, bright flame". It's often used as a nickname for boys named Jean-Louis. In France, it's also considered a separate given name. Jolin is usually pronounced /ʒɔlɛ̃/, with the 'j' sound similar to that in English "John" or French "je". The name gained popularity in the late 20th century and has since been used in various European countries, as well as in North America. It's often associated with warmth, light, and energy due to its meaning, but it remains unisex despite being more commonly given to boys.
"The name Jolin experienced a significant surge in popularity from the year 2004 onwards, with annual births peaking at 30 in 2008 and maintaining high numbers until 2014. However, there has been a steady decline since then, with fewer than 15 births recorded each year from 2016 to 2023."
