Jacqueline is of French origin, derived from the Late Latin name 'Jacobus', which means 'supplanter'. It was popularized by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, former First Lady of the United States and widow of President John F. Kennedy. The name has been used in France since the Middle Ages but gained prominence worldwide due to her influence.
"Jacqueline was quite popular in 1961 with six babies being named her that year."
