Meaning & History
Kazakh form of Janpolad. It could also be that the name has a slightly different etymology, in which case it is derived from the Arabic adjective جميل (jamil) meaning "beautiful, handsome, good" (see Jamil) combined with the Persian noun پولاد (polad) meaning "steel". It is identical to the Kazakh word жамбыл (jambyl) meaning "citadel, fortress".
