(“jacqueline” comes from french, as the feminine form of jacques (english james). jacques originated from ‘jacob’, which is derived from the hebrew meaning ‘may god protect’ or ‘supplanter’)
(supplanter refers to a person who replaces someone or thing of lesser value, and this hebrew meaning refers to jacob supplanting esau as recorded in the hebrew bible)
(‘may god protect’ has a more positive connotation and is therefore the preferred meaning for the name)
(“jacqueline” was first used in the united kingdom in the 17th century)
