History & Origin

Jocqui is a scarce coined spelling, most plausibly a restyling of Jacques or Jackie, both from the Jacob and James family. With almost no record trail, its exact origin stays uncertain, and its appeal is chiefly the unusual, French-flavored look of the 'cqui' ending.

Jocqui barely appeared in United States records. It surfaced in the mid-nineteen-nineties, showed up for only a year or two around 1995, and then vanished. A boy named Jocqui then is around thirty now.

Did you know? Jocqui is one of the rarest names in this group: United States records show it for only a year or two in the mid-nineteen-nineties.
