Re: Ever heard of Jolyn?

Looks to me like a modern invention, created either through a contraction of "Jocelyn", or a combination of "Jo" and "Lyn".-- Nanaea

Yes! You're right. I'm a Jolyn and surprised to hear of a few more. My parents named me after three dear friends who passed...Joan/Jacklyn or (Jacki-Lynn as they pronounce it) and Grace (my middle name). I was making a personal website and thought this was so cool to come across. If I find my mall keychain I had made along time ago with my "name meaning," I'll post it. (It's somewhere around here and very interesting to read:)
