Jacqualine

Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Jacqualine: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1975.

The name Jacqualine is a less common spelling of Jacqueline, the French feminine form of Jacques, which itself derives from the Hebrew Yaakov—meaning “supplanter” or “holder of the heel.” Most famously, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the stylish and resilient First Lady of the United States, brought elegance to the name, while cellist Jacqueline du Pré gave it a deeply musical association. Though no major places bear the name directly, its root is shared with the Scottish city of Inverness’s own River Ness? Not quite—but the name does connect to the countless Jameses and Jacks across the world. This spelling, with its distinctive “qua,” offers a quiet twist on a classic, lending a touch of individuality while keeping the familiar, graceful sound.
