Jacqueline f

English and French: feminine diminutive of the French male name JACQUES (SEE Jacques). In the 1960s it became very popular in America and elsewhere, no doubt strongly influenced by the fame and stylish image of Jacqueline Kennedy, wife of President John F. Kennedy. She is herself of French extraction.

Variants: English: Jacquelyn (influenced by the productive suffix -lyn; see LYNN (SEE Lynn)); Jacklyn (influenced by the male name JACK (SEE Jack)).
