It is of French origin. Feminine form of Jacques, the French version of James and Jacob .
In the Old Testament, Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter". Other theories claim that it is derived from a hypothetical name like (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". The name was first used by English speakers in the 13th century, although it was only popular in the mid 20th century, promoted by the celebrity status of Jacqueline Kennedy (1929-1994), the wife of President John F. Kennedy. |
