History & Origin
Jacquese is a coined name that appears in United States records from the mid-1980s. It dresses the French Jacques - itself from Latin Iacobus and Hebrew Yaakov, 'supplanter' - in an -ese ending, a stylish African American reshaping. The inherited meaning travels through Jacques.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around 2004. A boy named Jacquese then is in his late teens or twenties now, from a generation fond of French-flavored coinages.
