Jolinda, of German origin, signifies 'youthful'. It is composed of two elements: 'johl', meaning 'to shout for joy', and 'inda', signifying 'of gentle nature'. This unique moniker is often associated with individuals who are cheerful and nurturing by nature.
The name Jolinda experienced notable fluctuations in popularity over the years. It peaked during the early post-war period with a significant rise to 39 births in 1947, following several years of consistent growth from the late 1930s onwards. However, this trend was not sustained, and by the mid-1950s, the number of annual Jolinda births had stabilized at around 20 per year. This level of popularity continued until the mid-1970s, after which there was a steady decline in its usage, with fewer than 30 Jolindas born annually from 1978 onwards. The name reached its lowest point in recent decades in the early 1990s and again in the late 2000s and early 2010s, with only a handful of births recorded each year during these periods. Overall, Jolinda was a moderately popular name throughout most of the twentieth century but has since declined in usage.
