History & Origin

Jacquelene is one of the spellings that Jacqueline spawned — the French feminine of Jacques, itself the French form of James and ultimately the Hebrew Jacob, 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel'. The -lene ending gives the elegant French name a slightly softened, American look.

This particular spelling was always uncommon, cresting faintly in the mid-nineteen-eighties, well after Jacqueline's own peak, then fading. It reads as a variant of a mid-century classic rather than a name with its own separate story.

Did you know? Jacqueline and its many spellings, Jacquelene among them, surged in mid-century America, buoyed for a time by the glamour of public figures who bore the name.
