What Does the Name Jaquelin Mean?
Jaquelin is usually a feminine given name and a variant spelling of Jacqueline. Its customary meaning is 'supplanter.' The name comes from French, where Jacqueline is the feminine diminutive of Jacques, a French form of the biblical name that appears in English as Jacob.
Jacques descends from Latin Iacobus, from Greek Iakōbos, from Hebrew Yaʿaqov. The Hebrew name is traditionally connected with ʿaqev ('heel') and the verb ʿaqav ('to supplant, to take by the heel'), because the biblical Jacob was born holding the heel of his twin Esau. The literal sense is tied to the heel; the customary English meaning is 'supplanter.' The exact etymology of the Hebrew name is not fully certain, but the heel-and-supplant explanation is the traditional one and the source of the usual translation.
Jaquelin Name History & Origins
Jaquelin is an alternate spelling of Jacqueline. Jacqueline developed in French as a feminine form of Jacques. Latin Iacobus and Greek Iakōbos stand between the Hebrew Yaʿaqov and the French name, reflecting the path the name took through Christian scripture and European languages.
The French feminine name was formed with the ending -ine, as in other feminine diminutives. In English and Spanish, the spelling Jaquelin appears alongside Jacqueline and Jaqueline; the missing c is a common spelling simplification. The name is used for women, and its development is tied to the longer French form rather than to a separate root.
