Celâl is Arabic, Turkish in Origin.
Celâl is the Turkish form of Arabic Jalāl, written جلال, from the Semitic root j-l-l, associated with greatness and exalted rank. The earliest form is Classical Arabic jalāl, a verbal noun on the faʿāl pattern from the verb jalla, to be great or sublime. Its literal sense is grandeur, majesty, or glory, with Ottoman Turkish preserving the long vowel through the circumflex in Celâl.
The name entered Turkish naming through Islamic and Ottoman Arabic, where Jalāl also appears in devotional language, notably in the divine epithet Dhū al-Jalāl wa-l-Ikrām. In modern Turkey the spelling Celal is commoner in unaccented official use, while Celâl marks vowel length in careful orthography. Related regional forms include Azerbaijani Cəlal, Arabic Jalal or Galal, and Bengali জালাল. Mahmut Celâl Bayar, president of Turkey from 1950 to 1960, is a prominent bearer.
