Zhale is Persian in Origin.

Zhale (Persian ژاله, pronounced zhah-LEH) is a feminine name from New Persian, meaning “dew” or “dewdrop,” and in older usage also “soft hail.” The image of zhāleh pervades classical Persian verse as a symbol of freshness, purity, and the fleeting beauty of dawn. As a given name, it carries a light, delicate feel while linking the bearer to a long-lived poetic metaphor in Iranian culture.

Documented as a personal name since at least the late Qajar era, it gained steady use in 20th‑century Iran and among the diaspora. Notable bearers include the poet Zhāleh Esfahani. Common variants and spellings are Zhaleh, Zhâleh, Zhāleh, and Jaleh; in Turkish the cognate Jale is well established, reflecting the same Persian root. The h‑less form Zhale represents a streamlined modern transliteration. The name appeals to families seeking a cross‑cultural, nature‑inspired choice that remains rare yet recognizable.
