Jalenah is English in Origin.

Jalenah is a modern American feminine given name, likely coined in the late 20th century. It reads as a lyrical elaboration of Jalen with the -ah ending that marks many contemporary girl names. Jalen itself rose to prominence in the 1990s (helped by basketball player Jalen Rose) and is often explained as a blend of Jay and Allen, or as a variant of Galen (from Greek galene, "calm"). By sound and spelling, Jalenah also overlaps with Jalena/Jelena, Slavic forms related to Helena.

Meanings therefore vary by pathway: from the Galen route, "calm/serene"; through the Helen/Helena line, "light; torch." As a compound Jay + Lena, it inherits Lena's "light" as well. Rare in official statistics, Jalenah appears across the United States in creative spellings such as Jalena, Jaleena, Jalayna, Jalenna, Jaylena, and Jalenia; nicknames include Jae, Jay, and Lena.
