History & Origin

Jacci is a jaunty spelling of Jackie, itself short for Jacqueline, the French form of Jacques, from the Hebrew Jacob, 'supplanter'. The doubled c and final i place it firmly in the mid-century trend for -i nicknames, when Jackie, Staci and Traci all took on playful new spellings.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high near 1957. A Jacci today reads as a mother or grandmother, in step with the name's era.

Did you know? Jacci sits with Staci, Traci and Kaci among the -i respellings that made pet names feel fresh and modern in the 1950s and 1960s.
