History & Origin
Jamaul is one of the spelling variants of Jamal, an Arabic name meaning 'beauty', that flourished among African American families in the second half of the twentieth century. The -aul ending gives the familiar name an individual look while keeping its sound and its meaning wholly intact.
This particular spelling stayed rare, a couple dozen boys a year at its high around 1994, with scattered later use, even as the base name Jamal was far more common. A Jamaul born then is in his thirties now, his name a distinctive take on a well-loved original.
