What is the meaning of the name Jalene ?

Jalene is English in Origin.

Jalene blends contemporary sound with the familiar -lene ending. In origin it is chiefly American English: either a feminine spin on Jalen, a modern given name popularized in the 1990s, or a compound of Jay (the songbird or a J- nickname) plus the -lene element heard in Helene, Eileen, and Jolene. As a recent coinage it carries no single traditional meaning, though parents sometimes read it as evoking the jaybird and, by association with Helene, light or torch.

Documented in U.S. use from the late 20th century, Jalene saw modest attention during the 1990s and 2000s alongside Jalen and Jaylen. Spellings and close variants include Jaleen, Jaelene, Jaylene or Jayleen, Jalena, and the rarer Jaline; related masculine forms are Jalen and Jaylen. Nicknames span Jae, Jay, and Lena. The name remains occasional in English-speaking countries and uncommon elsewhere, giving it a modern yet distinctive profile.
