What is the meaning of the name Jacky ?

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

Jacky is French in Origin.

Jacky is a diminutive of Jack, itself a pet form of John in Middle English and also linked to French Jacques; both trace back to Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” As a nickname, Jacky also serves the feminine Jacqueline (the French feminine of Jacques), making it a genuinely unisex choice.

Used in English-speaking records from the late 19th century, Jacky gained independence as a given name through the mid-20th century. It appears in French and Belgian use as a masculine name (e.g., racing driver Jacky Ickx), and has been widely adopted in East Asia as an English name, notably in Hong Kong and Taiwan (e.g., singer Jacky Cheung). Common variants include Jackie (the dominant spelling), Jackey, and Jaki; related feminine spellings tied to Jacqueline include Jacqui and Jackie. The name carries a friendly, lively tone while retaining the classic, devout meaning of John/Jack.
