A modern invented name, possibly meaning violet flower.
Jalonda is a 20th-century American coinage, likely created by blending the prefix 'Ja-' with the name Yolanda. Yolanda itself is derived from the Greek name Iolanthe, which refers to the violet flower. It rose to modest use in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s.
