Jacek is Polish in Origin.
Jacek is a Polish masculine name (pronounced YA-tsek), originally a diminutive that became an independent form of Jacenty/Hiacynt. It ultimately derives from Greek Hyakinthos via Latin Hyacinthus and means “hyacinth,” the fragrant spring flower; by extension it also refers to the jacinth gemstone.
Attested in Poland since the Middle Ages, Jacek gained particular prominence through Saint Hyacinth (Święty Jacek Odrowąż, 12th–13th c.), a Dominican missionary; his feast/name day in Poland is 17 August. Usage has been steady across the 20th century and remains familiar today. Polish variants include Hiacynt and the older Jacenty; diminutives/hypocoristics include Jacuś and Jachuś. Cognates and related forms abroad are Spanish/Portuguese Jacinto, Italian Giacinto, French Hyacinthe, and English Hyacinth; feminine counterparts include Polish Hiacynta (also Jacynta) and Spanish/Portuguese/Italian Jacinta/Giacinta. Internationally, Jacek is sometimes rendered as Jace.
