Jahlani is of Arabic origin, meaning "calm" or "tranquil". It is composed of two elements: "jahil", which means "ignorant", and "-ani", a suffix that denotes the owner of something. Thus, Jahlani could be interpreted as "the ignorant one" or more figuratively, "the calm one", suggesting a peaceful and serene nature. The name is not particularly common, making it unique and distinctive. It rolls off the tongue smoothly with its three syllables: Ja-hla-ni. Jahlani is often spelled interchangeably with variations such as Jalani or Jalenai, but the original Arabic form is Jahlani. As a unisex name, it is used for both boys and girls.
"Jahlani saw its popularity peak in recent years, with a significant jump from 8 births in 2019 to 34 in 2022, and then 17 in 2023."
