Jamani is Swahili in Origin.

Jamani is a modern unisex given name found chiefly in East African and African-diaspora communities. Linguistically it aligns with Swahili, where jamani is a familiar vocative and exclamation meaning "people!" or "my goodness," traced etymologically to Arabic jama'a "to gather; assembly." As a personal name, Jamani is often interpreted to evoke community, togetherness, or belonging; some also hear an echo of Swahili Amani ("peace"), giving the name a serene, socially minded feel.

In contemporary records the name appears from the late 20th century onward, with modest use in the United States, Kenya, and Tanzania. It does not figure in older onomastic lists, reflecting its status as a newer, culturally expressive choice rather than an inherited traditional name. Spelling variants include Jahmani, Jamaani, Jamoni, and Jumani; related forms or nicknames are Mani and Jae. Parents selecting Jamani often cite its pan-African flavor, sound, and aspirational meaning of belonging and shared purpose.
