Jelani Name meanings & History
Jelani means "mighty" or "powerful" in Swahili. This name began to be used rarely in the United States in 1973 after it was featured in a nation-wide newspaper article about African baby names [1]. It probably represents the Arabic name Jilani, given in honour of the Sufi scholar Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (the meaning quoted by the newspaper article ("mighty") coincides with the meaning of Qadir).The name reached its peak of popularity in 1998, probably because it had sounds in common with other fashionable African-American names of the time. Jelani is most commonly used as a boy's name, although it can also be used for girls. It is a popular choice among parents who are looking for a unique and meaningful name for their child.
