Jacqueline is a female given name.

Origins

Jacqueline comes from French, as the feminine form of Jacques (English James). Jacques originated from 'Jacob', which is derived from the Hebrew meaning 'may God protect' or 'supplanter'.

Supplanter refers to a person who replaces someone or thing of lesser value, and this Hebrew meaning refers to Jacob supplanting Esau as recorded in the Hebrew Bible. 'May God protect' has a more positive connotation and is, therefore, the preferred meaning for the name.

Jacqueline was first used in 17th century England.

It has spelling variations and many variants in both spelling and pronunciation have come into use, such as Jacquelyn, Jacquelin, Jackeline, Jackielyn, Jacklyn, and Jaclyn. The diminutive for Jacqueline is Jacquie, Jackie, Jacque or Jacqui, which also has many variants.

Jacqueline is a very popular female first name,[2] used in the United States, Canada, England, France, Australia, South Africa and elsewhere.
