jubilant

Overflowing with joy

Jubilant means feeling or expressing great joy and triumph: The jubilant crowd flooded the streets after the championship victory.

The word suggests celebratory exuberance, often shared collectively—fans jubilant after a win, a nation jubilant at war's end.

It implies not quiet satisfaction but visible, often boisterous elation.
