History & Origin
Jalise belongs to the wave of Ja- names that grew among American families in the late twentieth century. It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its modest peak around the early twenty-tens.
A girl named Jalise at that high would still be young today, and the name has stayed a rare, personal choice rather than a trend. It reads as a smooth, contemporary coinage built for sound more than for a settled meaning.
