Jamaul Origin and Meaning

The name Jamaul is a boy's name.

Jamaul appears to be a modern variant spelling of Jamal, which derives from Arabic origins meaning 'beauty' or 'handsome.' The spelling variation with '-aul' instead of '-al' represents a phonetic adaptation that emerged in the United States. This name began appearing in naming records during the 1970s and 1980s, gaining modest usage through the 1990s. While less common than Jamal, Jamaul represents the trend of creating distinctive spelling variations of established names. The name's popularity peaked in the late 20th century but has since declined in frequency. Jamaul demonstrates how names can evolve through spelling modifications while maintaining their phonetic connection to their root forms.
