Meaning & origin
Jacqualine is a variant spelling of Jacqueline that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1922. It reached its highest popularity in 1964, when it ranked among the top 1000 girls' names, though it has since declined and remained relatively stable in usage. The name's trajectory indicates it has not experienced a recent revival, and it is not associated with any particular top states. As a phonetically spelled version of a classic French-derived name, Jacqualine offers a distinctive twist while maintaining the familiar and well-attested meaning of 'supplanter.'
Jacqualine is a variant spelling of Jacqueline, the feminine form of Jacques, the French form of Jacob. Jacob derives from the Hebrew name Yaakov, traditionally interpreted as 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel,' from the biblical story of Jacob grasping Esau's heel. The name Jacqueline gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the 20th century, with Jacqualine emerging as a less common but recognized phonetic spelling.
