Originating from France, Jacqueline is a charming and timeless given name, often associated with elegance and grace. Pronounced as 'Jack-oo-line', it consists of two elements: 'Jaques' meaning 'supplanter' in French, and '-line', a popular feminine suffix derived from Latin. The name gained significant popularity during the mid-20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries.
"The name Jacqueline experienced modest popularity with a peak in the late eighties and early nineties, showing consistency over time but never reaching significant heights."
