Meaning & Story
A feminine elaboration of Jolene, itself a modern name with Southern American roots meaning 'pretty' — lyrical, melodic, and warmly romantic.
Jolena is Jolene's slightly more formal sister — and if Dolly Parton's song gave Jolene its enduring mystique, Jolena carries some of that same melodic magic. It's a name with soft curves and a Southern warmth, perfect for a sweet-natured female dog who draws admirers wherever she goes. Jolena is probably a blonde — a Golden Retriever, a Labrador, a Cocker Spaniel — with eyes that make you forget what you were saying.
