Many Arabic-speaking Christians or other Christians and Arab or non-Arab Muslims have Jalal as given or family name. Majesty is among other approximate meanings of Jalal, such as dignity, greatness, lordliness, loftiness, and glory to address a royal person like king, lord, emperor and monarch as in current monarchies, formal situations, histories, myths, and legends. When the Arabs spread their language over non-Arabic countries through religions or other ways, "Jalal", among other Arabic words, has been added to other language dictionaries of non-Arabic people.
