History & Origin
Jacqulyn is a spelling variant of Jacqueline, the feminine of the French Jacques, which descends through Latin from Hebrew Ya'aqov, 'supplanter.' The name was fashionable across mid-twentieth-century America, and parents produced numerous phonetic forms — Jacqulyn among them — to capture the 'JAK-wuh-lin' sound.
The variant crested around 1952 and faded over later decades, giving it a grandmother-era feel. Jacqueline retains a timeless elegance, but this respelling has not revived and reads as a period spelling of a classic name.
