Meaning & Story
A South African name of Afrikaans origin meaning 'violet' or 'purple', also a variant of Yolanda meaning 'violet flower'.
Yolandi blooms with color — the name literally evokes the rich purple of the violet flower, drawn from the Afrikaans word for violet. It's a name with strong South African cultural resonance, and gained additional pop-culture visibility through the South African rapper Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord. For a vibrant, expressive female dog with a personality as vivid as her name, Yolandi is a wonderful choice. The rolling, musical syllables are as beautiful to say as to hear.
