Proper name, attested by 1218, probably via Anglo-French Jake, Jaikes, from Old French Jacques (which was a diminutive of Latin Jacobus; see Jacob), but in English the name always has been regarded as a familiar form of John, and some have argued that it is a native formation.In Middle English spelled Jakke, Jacke, etc., and pronounced as two syllables ('Jackie').
