[[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]] chose the name as ''rally'', ''meeting'' and ''gathering'' did not fully capture the spirit of this then-new concept. The name is thought to be derived from the swahili for hello, ''Jambo'', as a result of the considerable amount of time he spent in the region. At the first World Jamboree at [[Olympia, London|Olympia]] in 1920, Lord Baden-Powell said "People give different meanings for this word, but from this year on, ''Jamboree'' will take a specific meaning. It will be associated to the largest gathering of youth that ever took place."

Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, coined the term ''Jamborese'' to refer to the ''lingua franca'' used between Scouts of different languages and cultural habits, that develops when diverse Scouts meet, that fosters friendship and understanding between Scouts of the world. Sometimes the word '''Jamborette''' is used to denote smaller, either local or international, gatherings.
