Jabulani is of African origin, specifically from South Africa and Zimbabwe, meaning 'celebration'. This name is often associated with joy and festivity.
"Jabulani experienced a peak in popularity between 1977 and 1978, with seven babies named Jabulani born in the latter year. However, it seems the name's popularity significantly decreased afterwards, as there were no recorded births of Jabulani from 1980 to 2004. It briefly resurfaced in 2005 with five newborns."
