What Al-Jalil means
Al-Jalil means the Majestic, who has every quality of greatness, honour and perfection. His majesty fills hearts with respect and love together. The Qur'an calls Allah 'Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram', the Owner of Majesty and Honour (55:27).

In the Qur'an
The name itself is not in the Qur'an as a name, but its meaning is, as in this verse.
وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو ٱلْجَلَٰلِ وَٱلْإِكْرَامِ
Al-Jalil is from the hadith list; in the Qur'an its root comes in 'Dhul-Jalal' (55:27).
Living by this name
Respect Allah's name and His signs, and never take His commands lightly. Pray: Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram, have mercy on me.
