Jamal

Commonly explained as being associated with “beauty.”

Jamal is a masculine given name used across many Arabic-speaking communities and beyond. It’s short and widely recognized, and it often appears with small spelling differences in Latin letters. In meaning explanations, Jamal is commonly connected to the idea of beauty. Etymology references often link it to Arabic vocabulary and roots in that semantic area, while noting that spellings like Jamal, Jamaal, and Djamal reflect transliteration conventions rather than distinct names. Pronunciation guidance jah-MAHL keeps two syllables with stress on the second. A practical tip is to expect both J- and Dj- spellings in French-influenced contexts and to choose one consistent spelling for official documents.

Etymology: An Arabic masculine name commonly linked to Arabic vocabulary and roots related to beauty. Latin spellings can vary (Jamal/Jamaal/Djamal) by transliteration.
