The name Cemala is formed from the word cəmal (beauty) in Arabic with the suffix -ə and carries the meaning of beauty, grace, and refinement; its masculine form, Camal, from the same root, is registered as a separate name in Azerbaijan. Unlike the name Jamila, Cemala is derived directly from the noun meaning beauty, while Jamila is derived from the adjective meaning beautiful.
Recorded in Azerbaijani name dictionaries in the form Camalə/Cemala, this name is rarely chosen today but is still encountered in traditional families. Since its meaning is positive and religiously neutral, there is no obstacle to bearing it.
