Jaclyne is a unique and distinctive female given name of French origin, derived from the masculine name Jacqueline. It is composed of two elements: 'Jacques,' meaning 'supplanter' in French, and '-lyn(e),' a feminine suffix found in many female names of French extraction. This suffix gives Jaclyne its distinctly feminine touch. The name has been used sparingly throughout history, contributing to its rarity and exclusivity today.
"Jaclyne experienced peaks in popularity between 1982 and 1988, with 10 or more births each year during this period. After 1989, its prevalence steadily declined, falling below 6 births per year from 1994 onwards."
