Jahlil is a masculine name with possible connections to Arabic naming traditions, though it has developed its own usage patterns in the United States. It may relate to the Arabic name 'Jalil' (جليل) meaning 'great,' 'revered,' or 'venerable,' with the spelling adapted for English pronunciation. The name gained recognition in American culture partly through basketball player Jahlil Okafor. Jahlil began appearing in U.S. naming records with increasing frequency in the 1990s. The initial 'Jah-' element might also carry significance for some families as it appears in Rastafarian contexts referring to God (Jah). The name remains relatively uncommon but has established a consistent presence in contemporary naming patterns, appealing to parents seeking names with both melodic quality and potential cultural or religious significance.
