¡Yolanda! I cannot find this word in the dictionary what does it mean?

Nicole-Baile, I think you have to place a period after dictionary and start a second sentence after that. - Rikko, ABR 3, 2010

Answer 3

Yolanda is a women's name, but it has Greek and a Spanish origin. It means violet or violet flower

Answer 4

The name Yolanda means ‘purple’ which denotes royalty. Yolanda is one to rise above any situation that she may encounter in this life. Through her walk in this life Yolanda learns much by observing others and emulating the good quality examples she sees and rejecting the poorer, inferior qualities or traits she sees in others.

Answer 5

I think it's just a woman's name. I know a couple of women named Yolanda. ¡Yolanda¡ is perhaps when someone is shouting the name.

I searched for the origin of the name. It is Greek and it translates to "Violet". - Rikko, ABR 3, 2010
