Jaquelin

Meaning of Jaquelin

Jaquelin, pronounced JACK-lin (/ˈdʒaklɪn/), is a feminine given name that derives from the French Jacqueline, itself the feminine form of Jacques and ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew name Yaʿaqov (Jacob), meaning “supplanter.” As a deliberate orthographic variant, Jaquelin conveys both the historical gravitas of its Biblical and medieval antecedents and a contemporary inclination toward individual expression. In the United States, the name has maintained a modest yet persistent presence in Social Security Administration records since the early twentieth century, reaching a peak ranking of 574 in 1935, declining thereafter, and stabilizing in the lower hundreds in recent decades—most notably ranking 931 in 2024 with 19 occurrences. Academically inclined parents may appreciate its linguistic pedigree and the nuanced balance it strikes between classical resonance and modern distinctiveness.
