Jacquette Origin and Meaning

The name Jacquette is a girl's name.

Jacquette is a feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Jacqueline, which itself is the female version of Jacques (the French form of Jacob). The name ultimately derives from Hebrew, meaning 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel.' Jacquette has a distinctly French flair with its '-ette' suffix, which adds a delicate, feminine quality. Though rare in English-speaking countries, it has historical usage in France, particularly during medieval and renaissance periods. The name carries an air of sophistication and European elegance that appeals to parents seeking something uncommon yet classically rooted. Jacquette offers the unique combination of historical depth with a melodious, feminine sound that distinguishes it from more common variations.
