In all the world, Jelle (Jelle 
, جيل 
, 耶勒 
) is quite a common primarily masculine, but very infrequently female first name. The given name Jelle is characteristic of Belgium, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but very seldom feminine name, Netherlands, where it is quite a common male name, and Libya, where it is quite a rare epicene name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Belgium, Netherlands, and Egypt. Very seldom, Jelle is the last name as well as the forename.
Jelle is also a prevalent name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Jill Valentine , the fictional character in Resident Evil, Resident Evil 3; Jelle Cockx ; Jill Von Crastenburg , the minor character from the Grand Theft Auto video game series; Gil Grissom , the fictional character on the CBS crime drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Jill Pole , the fictional girl, second lead character in The Silver Chair (Narnia, book 4), The Last Battle, and in many other works.
