Name list

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.
