The Story of Jolyne
Jolyne is a variant of Jolene and Joline, which are modern English elaborations of Jo- names ultimately rooted in the Hebrew Joseph or Johanna ('God will add' or 'God is gracious'). The name gained renewed cultural attention through the character Jolyne Cujoh, the protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean, which became a popular anime series. The distinctive -yne spelling gives the name a more fashion-forward appearance.
Jolene became famous through Dolly Parton's 1973 hit song of the same name, and the -yne spelling variant Jolyne has gained attention through JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Part 6). The anime fanbase has made Jolyne a recognizable name to younger generations who grew up watching the series.
