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.
