What is the meaning of the name Jackie ?

The baby name Jackie is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒæki/ (JAK-ee).

Jackie is in Origin.

Jackie is a unisex English hypocoristic, most often a diminutive of Jack (ultimately from John) and of Jacqueline. John stems from Hebrew Yohanan, “Yahweh is gracious,” while Jacqueline is the feminine of French Jacques, from Hebrew Ya‘aqov (Jacob), commonly interpreted as “supplanter.” Accordingly, Jackie can inherit either meaning, depending on the parent name. It also serves as a short form of Jacquelyn, Jackson, and, in Francophone use, Jacques.

Used independently since the early 20th century, Jackie gained wide currency in the US and UK. Male prominence includes baseball pioneer Jackie Robinson; feminine visibility surged with First Lady Jacqueline “Jackie” Kennedy in the 1960s. In France, Jacky functions as a masculine given name in its own right. Variant spellings include Jacky (France/UK), Jacki, Jacqui (especially feminine in Britain and Australia), and Jaki.
