Reply to: meaning of IOLENE by abbott
I would think that Iolene is most likely someone's creation blending either Iole or Iolanthe with the -lene ending from names like Arlene, Darlene, Charlene, etc. People often think of -lene names as being "Irish" because of Kathleen, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
