What is the meaning of the name Jacqueline ?

The baby name Jacqueline is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˈdʒækəlɪn/ (JAK-ə-lin); French: /ʒaklin/ (zhahk-LEEN).

Jacqueline is French in Origin.

Jacqueline is the French feminine form of Jacques, itself from Latin Jacobus and ultimately the Hebrew Ya‘aqov (Jacob). The name carries the traditional Jacob meaning “supplanter,” often glossed as “one who follows at the heel,” and in French it uses the feminine -ine ending. Through French, it entered English and many other languages largely intact.

Documented in medieval France - famously borne by Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut (15th century) - the name remained primarily French until the 20th century. It rose sharply in the English-speaking world in the 1950s–60s, propelled by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and has since become an international staple. Variants and spellings include Jaqueline (Portuguese), Jackeline, Jacquelin, and Jaquelin (Spanish-influenced); English modern forms Jaclyn, Jacklyn, Jaclynn, and Jacalyn; related feminines Jacoba, Jacobina, and Jacquetta. Common diminutives are Jackie, Jacky, and Jacqui.
