Jaquey is a rare modern English variant of Jacquie/Jacqui, a diminutive of Jacqueline, the French feminine form of Jacques.

As a creative spelling, Jaquey preserves the French qu- while signaling the familiar nickname sound of Jackie, giving it a contemporary, personalized feel.

Usage of the root name surged in the mid-20th century across the English-speaking world, notably influenced by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, from which many nicknames (Jackie, Jacqui, Jacquie, Jacky, Jaki, and Jaqui) spread. Related formal variants include Jacquelyn, Jaclyn, Jacklyn, and the Lusophone/Spanish-influenced Jaqueline. Masculine counterparts are Jacques and Jacob. Parents choosing Jaquey gain the timeless Jacob/Jacques lineage with a distinctive twist, while retaining the classic meaning associated with Jacob's biblical narrative.
