Jacqui

Meaning of Jacqui

Jacqui is a charming nickname born from the elegant Jacqueline—a French twist on the Latin Jacobus, meaning “supplanter” or “one who follows.” Pronounced JAK-ee, it feels like a playful breeze at a fiesta, full of warmth and poise. It danced onto California’s baby charts in the early 1960s, peaking at number 312 in 1965 when eight little girls wore the name. Though just a handful chose Jacqui, each girl shines like a treasured gem under the sun. The name evokes lively gatherings, colorful traditions, and a spirit that’s both resilient and bright. Every Jacqui carries a spark ready to inspire, leading with kindness and a touch of flair wherever life goes.
