Jalal
male given name (جلال)
Jalal (Arabic: جلال) is a masculine given or family name. The name or word Jalal means majesty and is used to honor and venerate.
When the Arabic language spread across non-Arabic regions, Jalal has also become a name for some Arabic-speaking Christians, non-Arab Muslims, and non-Arabs and has been added to other language dictionaries with the majestic meaning.
Another form is Galal (typically seen in the Egyptian Dialect), where the first letter "ج" is pronounced like hard g /g/ in English. Galal might have other meanings in different languages.
Examples
The word Jalal could be found in many history, art, religious, and poetry books. For example:
Jalal is used as a characteristic when addressing royals like kings and lords in history, myth, and formal occasion.
Jalál the second month and the Saturday as a first day of the week in the Bahá’í calendar.
In the Bible, Jalal is used as a veneration for God in Psalms (111:3), (145:5), etc., Isaiah (26:10), (30:30), etc., and the Great Doxology, written and read in Churches in Arabic.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jalal” as male given name (جلال). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as male given name (جلال). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48693023. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
