      The name Joelene is of American origin and is a combination of the names Jo and Eileen. Jo is a diminutive of the name Joseph, derived from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning God will add. Eileen, on the other hand, is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Eibhln, which itself is a form of the name Aveline, derived from the Germanic name Avila, meaning desired.

However, its origins can be traced back to the combination of Jo and Eileen, which reflect traditional and timeless naming practices. In modern-day usage, Joelene is still a fairly uncommon name. It is most commonly found in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States. While not widely used, it has a certain charm and uniqueness that appeals to many parents seeking a combination of traditional and contemporary names.
