Jarmal
Jarmal Origin and Meaning
Jarmal is a masculine name that appears to have emerged in the United States during the 1970s. It may have developed as a variant of Jamal (an Arabic name meaning 'beauty' or 'elegance') with the addition of the 'r' sound, possibly influenced by names like Jeremiah or Jermaine. Alternatively, it could be a combination name formed from elements like 'Jar-' (possibly from Jared or Jarvis) and '-mal' (from Jamal or similar names). The name saw modest usage through the 1980s and 1990s but remains relatively uncommon. Phonetically, Jarmal has a strong, rhythmic quality with its two distinct syllables. The addition of the 'r' creates a different sound flow from Jamal while maintaining a similar overall structure. This represents the trend of name variations and combinations that expanded naming options during the late 20th century.
