Jacqulyn
Jacqulyn Origin and Meaning
Jacqulyn is a feminine name representing a spelling variation of Jacqueline, which is the French feminine form of Jacques (James). Ultimately derived from Hebrew Ya'akov, meaning 'supplanter,' the name carries a rich heritage through its biblical connections. This particular spelling simplifies the traditional Jacqueline by removing an 'e,' creating a more streamlined look while maintaining the same pronunciation. Jacqulyn peaked in popularity during the mid-20th century when Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis brought attention to the name. The variant spelling emerged as parents sought to personalize the classic name. While less common than the traditional spelling, Jacqulyn maintains the elegant, sophisticated qualities associated with Jacqueline while offering a subtle distinction.
