Jakqui is in Origin.

Jakqui is a modern, rare respelling of Jacqui, the familiar short form of Jacqueline. Jacqueline is the French feminine of Jacques, itself from Late Latin Iacobus, rooted in Hebrew Ya'aqov (Jacob). The traditional meaning attached to this line is "supplanter" or "one who follows at the heel," reflecting the biblical story of Jacob. Jakqui preserves the brisk JACK-ee sound while adding a contemporary k-qu visual twist typical of late-20th-century English naming style.

Use of Jakqui appears sporadically in English-speaking countries and remains uncommon, whereas Jacqui/Jacquie and Jackie saw broad use from the 1950s–1980s, buoyed by the prominence of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Related international forms include Jacqueline (French/English), Jaqueline (Portuguese, especially Brazil), Jackeline and Jacquelin(e) (Spanish/Latin America), and English spellings such as Jackie, Jacky, Jacki, Jacqui, Jacquie, Jakki, and Jaqui. All trace back to the Jacob/James family of names.
