Jalene is of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'yalad', which means 'to give birth'. This unique and beautiful name has gained popularity in recent years due to its melodic sound and elegant simplicity. It consists of two main components: 'Jala' meaning 'to rise', 'to ascend', or 'to be high', and 'ene', a suffix that often denotes a female. Therefore, Jalene can be interpreted as 'she who rises' or 'she who ascends'. The name Jalene has been adopted by various cultures worldwide but remains particularly popular in the United States. It offers parents an attractive alternative to more traditional Hebrew names while still retaining its meaningful origins.
"The name Jalene saw its peak popularity between the late 1940s and early 1960s, with 14 to 23 births annually during this period. It experienced a significant resurgence in the late 1990s to mid-2000s, reaching over 30 births per year. However, since then, its popularity has declined, with fewer than 20 births reported annually from 2007 onwards."
