Jamani, of Swahili origin, means 'gentle.' It is derived from the phrase 'jamani ya jioni,' translating to 'the gentle one at evening.' The name gained prominence through its association with a character in the book 'The African Child' by Camara Laye.
"The name Jamani experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable spike in recent times. Between 1995 and 2023, there were a total of 310 babies named Jamani."
