Jalal
Jalal (Arabic: جلال) is a masculine given or family name. The name or word Jalal means majesty and is used to honor and venerate.
When the Arabic language spread across non-Arabic regions, Jalal has also become a name for some Arabic-speaking Christians, non-Arab Muslims, and non-Arabs and has been added to other language dictionaries with the majestic meaning.
Another form is Galal, where the first letter "ج" is pronounced like hard g /g/ in English. Galal might have other meanings in different languages.
