Jacque

Jacque is a masculine name that serves as a French variant of Jacob, ultimately derived from Hebrew origins meaning 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel.' While Jacques (with the 's') is the standard French form, Jacque represents a simplified spelling that maintains the French pronunciation. The name carries sophisticated European flair while remaining relatively easy to pronounce in English-speaking contexts. Jacque has seen moderate usage throughout the 20th century, particularly in French-influenced regions and families with French heritage. The name bridges classical biblical roots with Continental elegance, making it appealing to parents seeking a name with international appeal. Its combination of historical depth and stylish sound gives Jacque enduring charm despite never reaching mainstream popularity.

Jacque is also given to girls.

Pronounced ZHAHK.

As of October 2026, Jacque ranked #13296 in US births in 2004 SSA, peaked at #539 in 1950.
