Good girl or violet flower
Jolan is primarily a Hungarian name, often considered a short form of Jolánka. It was coined in the 19th century by writer András Dugonics for a character, likely combining the elements 'jó' meaning good and 'leány' meaning girl, though it is also associated with the Greek word for violet.
