Origin and meaning

Jacqueline is the French form of the German name Jakobine or Jakobäa (derived from the male name Jakob , which means "May God protect").

The name is derived from the Canaanite phrase "Ja'akow'el", which means "May God protect". The word “akew” means “heel” in Hebrew , which is why the name can also be translated as “heel holder”. This meaning refers to the Old Testament in which Jacob , the son of Isaac, held his twin brother Esau by the heel in order to become the firstborn. "May God protect" has a more positive meaning and is therefore the preferred meaning for the name.

distribution

Jacqueline was first used in England in the 17th century .

In the sixties and seventies of the 20th century , the name Jacqueline was known in Germany, but not very widespread. His popularity rose from the early eighties, so that he was briefly among the ten most frequently given female first names in the mid-nineties. From the turn of the millennium, however, its popularity declined very quickly and sharply. A variant of this name in Germany that was first given in 2014 is Schaklin .

Women who bear the name often have to struggle with prejudices in school. According to a study that the teacher graduate Julia Kube presented at the University of Oldenburg in 2009, the first name Jacqueline was mostly negative among the teachers surveyed - a total of 500 questionnaires were evaluated. When asked which first name would you definitely not give your child? he appeared in second place (after Kevin ). The name did not do any better in response to the question Name first names of students who evoke associations with 'behavioral problems' in you . Here Jacqueline came in fifth place. In addition, the name in the spelling Schakkeline made it into the title of a social satire by Sophie Seeberg in 2013 (The Schakkeline is highly gifted) .

In 2018, Jacqueline was number 1,172 in the list of the most popular girl names in Berlin. Six years earlier, the name was a little more popular, and in 2016 it was even at number 535.

Today, Jacqueline is a very popular female given name, particularly used in the United States , Canada , England , France , Australia , South Africa, and elsewhere.

One of the most famous people to bear the name in the 20th century is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , née Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, who was often referred to as Jackie Kennedy from 1953 to 1963 after she married US President John F. Kennedy. Her great popularity led many parents to name their daughters after her.
