Jala
Meaning of Jala
Jala is a feminine given name of Persian origin, rooted in the triliteral j-l-y root of both Persian and Arabic, which conveys clarity, brightness, and manifestation. In Persian literary traditions—especially within Sufi poetry—jalā often signifies the unveiling of hidden truths, lending the name a subtly poetic resonance. Pronounced JAY-luh (/dʒeɪˈlə/), it enjoyed modest popularity in the United States from the 1990s into the early 2000s, peaking at 139 newborns in 2002 before settling into a niche position (eight occurrences in 2024). Statistically speaking, its under-the-radar status means that encountering another Jala on the playground remains a remote possibility—a fact that may appeal to parents seeking a quietly distinctive choice. Its blend of elegant simplicity, cultural depth, and luminous authenticity ensures that each bearer carries an air of genuine revelation.
