What is the meaning of the name Jaelene ?

The baby name Jaelene is a Female name , 23 syllables long and is pronounced JAY-leen (ˈdʒeɪliːn),jay-LEE-nee (ˌdʒeɪˈliːni).

Jaelene is Hebrew in Origin.

Jaelene is a modern English feminine given name, most often explained as an elaboration of Jael with the productive -ene/-lene ending, or as a blend of Jae/Jay and -lene. Jael derives from Hebrew Yael, meaning "ibex" or "mountain goat," and belongs to the fearless woman who slew Sisera in the Book of Judges - an association that lends the name a quietly heroic edge.

Jaelene emerged in late-20th-century U.S. usage alongside the surge of Jay- and -leen/-lynn names, and remains uncommon. Variant and cognate forms include Jaylene, Jayleen, Jailene, Jaelyn, Jaelynn, and the root Jael/Yael; short forms Jae or Jay are typical. Depending on the chosen root, the name carries either the Hebrew nature meaning or the bright, modern "Jay" sound fashionable in contemporary American naming.
