Joli

The baby name Joli has more than one origin, in English, French, and German. The meaning of Joli is 'pretty' in English and French. Though the definition of Joli is the same in the English and the French variant, in German, it means 'countly', which stands for an aristocratic and noble bearing. The name Joli is a variant of Jolie and shares meaning with it. The meaning 'pretty' ensures that it is generally perceived as a girl's name and is mainly given to Christian baby girls. It has many variants, such as Jolee, Joleigh, Joely, or Joly, and the most common nicknames are Jo, Joe, or Jojo. The name supposedly received a strong push in popularity in the United States with the success of the actress Angelina Jolie. Though she has fashioned Jolie as her last name, Jolie nevertheless became significant as a name for baby girls for American parents. Data for baby names in America backs up the above speculation, as Jolie as a girl's name was popular for a short while in the '70s but re-emerged as a popular name in 2000, trailing Angelina Jolie's emergence as a star in 2009 with the film 'Girl, Interrupted.' Joli, however, can also be a surname or a last name. Examples include the 18th-century Italian painter Antonio Joli, the Canadian singer France Joli (1963), and the French athlete Guillaume Joli (1985).

On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
