About Jack
Jack may have fallen from its Number 1 place in England, but in the US it's as popular as it was at its height in the 1920s and 1930s. A durable, cheery, everyman form of John, Jack ranks as one of the most popular boy names starting with J.
Jack for boys#15 US
Jack is a derivative of John that originated in medieval England. The name went from John to Johnkin to Jankin to Jackin to Jack. The name was so common in the Middle Ages that Jack became a generic term for a man.
Jack is familiar to all from earliest childhood via Jack and Jill, Jack Sprat, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Jack Horner et al. It is still a recent favorite for novel, TV and movie characters.
Jack is at the top of the charts in Ireland and Scotland, and also ranks highly in Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
The jaunty Scottish version is Jock.
Jack for girls#13886 US
Jack for a girl: could it go the way of James and become a trendy new thing? There's something smart and understatedly cool about Jack for either gender, although long forms Jacqueline or Jacquetta aren't quite ready for a revival just yet.
Jack Monroe is a (now controversial) British food blogger and food poverty activist.
Pronounced JAK.
As of October 2026, Jack ranked #15 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #11 in 2021, Nameberry popularity #44.
