Yalanda

US Popularity Rank: 12211

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Of Iolanthe and Viola; Violet flower

Yalanda is a Spanish name for celebrating baby's radiant beauty, inside and out. This feminine pick derives from Greek Iolanthe and Latin Viola, meaning "violet flower." While rare, Yalanda borrows star power from Yolanda, as in the 1940s Fred Astaire film Yolanda and the Thief. It's also shared with activist and daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and mother of models Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid. With this flowered title, baby Yalanda will let their beauty and kindness bloom for all to admire!
