Jaquelyn

The story behind Jaquelyn

Jaquelyn is a 21st-century American respelling of Jacqueline, which derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (meaning "supplanter"). The name Jacqueline became established in English through the French form Jacqueline, feminine diminutive of Jacques. Jaquelyn represents a contemporary variant spelling, popularizing in the United States since the 1990s–2000s alongside the broader trend of creative respellings of established names.
