Jialin is a unisex given name of Chinese origin. It is composed of two characters: 'jiā' (加), meaning 'addition' or 'increase', and 'lín' (林), which signifies 'forest'. Thus, the name literally translates to 'adding to the forest'. Jialin was particularly popular during the 1980s and 1990s in China. It has also gained some recognition internationally due to its balance of cultural heritage and modern appeal.
