Jacky Origin and Meaning

The name Jacky is a boy's name.

Jacky is a masculine name commonly used as a diminutive of Jack or Jacob, though it sometimes stands as an independent given name. Jack derives from John, meaning 'God is gracious,' while Jacob means 'supplanter' in Hebrew. With its friendly 'y' ending, Jacky has an approachable, boyish charm that can transition from childhood to adulthood. The name was particularly popular in the mid-20th century but has become less common as a formal name in recent decades. Jacky has cross-cultural appeal, recognized in various English-speaking countries. It's worth noting that the spelling 'Jackie' is often associated with the feminine version, though both spellings have been used for boys. The name carries a casual, unpretentious quality with a touch of nostalgic appeal.
