The name Jakelin, of Basque origin, translates to 'may God protect us.' It is a unisex name, though it's more commonly given to girls. The name is derived from the Basque male name Jakue, which is itself an adaptation of the Hebrew name Jacob. In some cultures, Jakelin may also be associated with the French female name Jacqueline.
"From the late 1980s to the early 2020s, Jakelin was a relatively uncommon name for newborns, with fewer than 10 births per year until the mid-1990s. Between 1995 and 2007, it experienced steady growth in popularity, peaking at 41 births in 2007. However, from 2008 onwards, its usage began to decline sharply, falling below 30 births per year by 2010 and dipping as low as 5 births in 2018."
