Jacqueline is the French feminine of Jacques — from the Hebrew Yaʿaqov ("supplanter, holder of the heel"). Jacqueline du Pré (1945-1987) — English cellist; her 1965 recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto is among the most-recorded of any classical work. Jacqueline Woodson — American National Book Award winner.
Subject of countless 20th-century American culture profiles.
Jacqueline does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Jacqueline reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
