Meaning & origin

Jalisia is a modern invented first name that first entered U.S. Social Security records in 1988, making it a relatively recent addition to the American name pool. Its peak year of usage was also 1988, the same year it debuted, after which its usage has remained stable but very low. The name has never appeared in the top 1000 rankings, and the likelihood of encountering a Jalisia in a given year is less than 1 in every 1,000,000 births. The trajectory of Jalisia is classified as stable, meaning its frequency has not shown significant growth or decline over the decades. Jalisia does not appear in any top state lists, indicating its usage is scattered rather than concentrated in a particular region. The name's construction follows a common pattern of modern feminine coinages using the prefix "Ja-" and a melodic suffix, similar to names like Jalissa or Malia.
