Meaning & Story

Jolie is a French adjective meaning "pretty" or "charming" — from Old French "joli," possibly derived from Old Norse "jól" (the Yule festival), or simply as a native French word for lovely and pleasant. It became a widely known surname through actress Angelina Jolie.

Jolie is French for pretty, and it delivers on that promise with a softness and elegance that immediately evokes the best French qualities: effortless charm, understated beauty, and a certain je ne sais quoi. For pets, Jolie suits creatures with natural grace — the elegant cat who always lands perfectly, the poodle whose haircut deserves a standing ovation, the rescued mutt whose beauty surprised everyone. Angelina Jolie's association with the name adds a layer of glamour that pet owners find irresistible.
