Jahlon is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name Yehiel, which means 'God Lives'. It is considered a unique and distinctive name, often chosen for its modern sound and intriguing spelling.
Jahlon had a noticeable peak in popularity around the year 2000, with at least 7 births annually from 2002 to 2004, and peaking at 10 births in 2003. However, it seems that this popularity did not sustain, as there were less than 9 births per year after 2005, with a significant drop to fewer than 6 births annually from 2007 onwards. The overall total of 115 births over the period suggests that while Jahlon was once somewhat common, it has since become quite rare.
