Jalene
Meaning of Jalene
Jalene, pronounced jah-LEEN (/dʒə-ˈliːn/), is a unisex name that marries contemporary American inventiveness with a touch of Persian poise. Its likely origin lies in the Persian word jaleh, meaning “dew,” conjuring the delicate shimmer of morning mist, while the added –ene suffix lends it a modern rhythm. In the United States, Jalene has never stormed the top 100—indeed, between 1993 and 2002 it appeared only five to ten times per year, hovering around ranks 770 to 820—a fact that may appeal to parents eager for an under-the-radar choice. Analytically, this steady but modest usage suggests a name of understated elegance: it can whisper sweetness when given to a girl and resonate with quiet resolve when borne by a boy. With its blend of cultural depth and measured popularity, Jalene stands out as a thoughtful option for those who value nuance over novelty.
