Meaning and origin of Jaleelah
Feminine names in Arabic often add a soft ending to a masculine word, and Jaleelah is built that way from Jalīl. It praises a woman as noble, respected and great in character, drawing on a root about majesty. The two e's stand for a long 'ee' sound, while the final 'h' marks the feminine ending known as tāʾ marbūṭa. Spell it Jalila and you have exactly the same name.
