What Does the Name Jacci Mean?
Jacci is a spelling variant of Jackie or Jacqui, a feminine pet form of Jacqueline. Jacqueline is the French feminine form of Jacques, which descends from Latin Jacobus and Greek Iakobos, from the Hebrew name Ya'aqov (Jacob). The customary meaning given to Jacob is "supplanter," drawn from the biblical account in which Jacob grasps his twin brother's heel at birth. The Hebrew etymology is not fully settled: Ya'aqov is commonly linked with aqev, "heel," yielding a literal sense such as "he takes by the heel," and the traditional "supplanter" reading develops that image rather than standing as a direct translation.
Jacci Name History & Origins
Jacci belongs to the group of English spellings of Jackie, the familiar form of Jacqueline and, for boys, of Jack. Jacqueline came into English from French, where it is the feminine diminutive of Jacques, the French form of Jacob. Jackie and its variants grew common as independent given names in English during the 20th century, as pet forms were increasingly used on their own. The spelling Jacci, ending in -i, is a modern respelling; the same pattern appears in Jaci and Jacie. Because Jackie can also serve as a diminutive of Jack (itself a medieval pet form of John), the short form alone does not fix which longer name it comes from, though the feminine -i spellings are generally treated as variants of Jacqueline.
