Djalil

Djalil is a masculine given name and, less commonly, a surname used in various Muslim communities. It is derived from the Arabic word Jalil (جليل), meaning "great" or "venerable," and it often conveys a sense of honor or nobility.

The name has several transliterations, including Jalil, Jaleel, Djallil, Dzhalil, and Djalil. It is found across the Arab world and in many regions influenced by Islamic culture, including parts of North Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, the spelling Djalil reflects historical Latinization practices.

Djalil appears both as a standalone given name and as part of theophoric names such as Abdul Jalil (servant of Jalil). The name is related to other forms such as Jalal and Jalil/Jaleel, which share the same root meaning and cultural associations of majesty and reverence.
