Jaclyne is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Jaclyne is a contemporary English respelling of Jacqueline, the French feminine form of Jacques, itself from the Hebrew Ya'aqov (Jacob). Through Latin Iacobus and Old French Jacques, the name carries the traditional meaning "supplanter," often interpreted as "one who follows at the heel." The -lyne ending reflects modern tastes and blends the familiar Jac- with the softer -lyne suffix without altering the underlying origin or sense.

In medieval and early modern France, Jacqueline was borne by nobles such as Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut, supporting steady continental use. The name spread widely in the Anglophone world, surging mid-20th century under the influence of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; from this wave came streamlined forms and creative spellings. Variants and cognates include Jacqueline (standard), Jacquelyn, Jaclyn, Jacklyn, Jacalyn, Jaqueline (Portuguese/Spanish), and Jackeline (Spanish). Common short forms are Jackie and Jacky.
