Morrison

Regal and ancient feeling, Jacques has been declining in popularity in its native France, but in the UK, it saw a surprising revival in 2022. Jumping from somewhere around the #2500 mark straight to #600, it was seven times more popular than in 2021.
 
Derived from the Latin name, Iacobus (or Jacobus), Jacques is the French form of Jacob and James. With a slightly sharper sound than the on-trend Jack and with a bit more flair, it still sounds fresh in the UK.
 
Jacques is the name of a number of saints and it is also associated with philosophy. Three well-known thinkers, Rousseau, Lacan, and Derrida, all share it as a given name. A Disney name via Lilo and Stitch and Finding Nemo, it also has literary ties to Shakespeare's As You Like it and James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room. 
Recent interest in the name might have been sparked by Rugby Union Coach Jacques Nienabar, by film writer and director Jacques Audiard, or perhaps by the character of Jacques Snicket, who featured in the Netflix adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
 Alternatively, it might just be parents looking for an alternative to Jack, and landing on the French form, to fit in with other trending choices, such as Remy, Louis/Louie, Hugo, Margot, and Sylvie.
