History & Origin

Jalasia has no recorded etymology. It is a modern American coinage joining the Ja- opening - among the most productive in twentieth-century naming - to an -asia ending heard in Asia, Aja and Malasia. Invented names of this kind are genuinely new, and it would be wrong to attach an older meaning to one; we present Jalasia honestly as a coinage of uncertain route (said 'juh-LAY-zhuh').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, modern, and invented.

Did you know? Names like Jalasia are built rather than inherited - a familiar opening, a familiar ending, and a new name that belongs to nobody else.
