Pronunciation:

Although some link this name to "Adaline" or "Adelaide", the true origin of this modern name is more likely what is found in "Marilyn" and "Arilyn/Aralyn", or "Madison" and "Adison" where a popular name is modified by dropping the first letter to give the same sound, yet in hopes of not being as commonly found. The juxtoposition of letters and changes in spelling, thus bring about a name that has no true meaning.

Jolie is not used as a first name in France. It is the surname of American actress Angelina Jolie - it was originally her middle name.
