Jalin is in Origin.

Jalin is a modern American given name, most often regarded as a spelling variant of Jalen. Jalen itself emerged in the late 20th century in the United States - famously borne by basketball star Jalen Rose - and spread quickly in African-American communities and beyond. As with many contemporary coinages, Jalin has no single traditional etymology; it is frequently analyzed as a blend of the nickname Jay with the fashionable -lin/-len ending, or associated by sound with Galen (from Greek Galenos, “calm, healer”), though that link is secondary.

Usage peaked in the late 199s and early 2000s, riding the popularity of related forms. Common variants include Jalen, Jaylen, Jaylin, Jaelin, Jalyn, and Jaelyn (typically feminine). Because it arose through creative naming rather than inherited tradition, Jalin is generally treated as unisex, with a contemporary, athletic feel. Not to be confused with Jelani (Swahili “mighty”), which has different origins and meaning.
