Origin: Arabic

Meaning: Camel driver; Beauty

Jammal is a boy’s name of Arabic origin. Used predominantly among the Muslim population, it can mean “camel driver” or “beauty.” In many regions of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, traditional lifestyles would never have come into being if it were not for the camel. The mobility and freedom that the animal afforded to the desert Arabs, in particular, helped forge their independent culture and their strong sense of self-reliance, so much so that the camel is celebrated in poetry as a faithful, unwavering figure. By choosing Jammal for your little one then is to hope that they never lose sight of their heritage and principles come what may.
