Meaning & origin
Youlanda is a feminine given name that emerged as a variant of Yolanda, itself derived from the Greek Iolanthe meaning 'violet flower'. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1946 but never entered the top 1000, peaking in 1968. Its trajectory has been stable, with very few births each year, and it lacks a strong association with any particular state. The 'ou' spelling reflects an English adaptation of the more common Yolanda, which has been more widely used in Spanish and Italian communities. While Youlanda remains rare, it offers a distinctive alternative to its more popular counterpart.
