Jack (given Name)
Jack is a given name, a diminutive of John; alternatively, it may be derived from Jacques, the French form of James or Jacob. Since the late 20th century, Jack has become one of the most common names for boys in many English-speaking countries. It may also be a short form of the male name Jackson. Jack is also used to a lesser extent as a female given name, often as a shortened version of Jacqueline. The word "jack" is also commonly used in other contexts in English for many occupations, objects and actions, linked to the use of the word as a metaphor for a common man. Origin Jack is thought by some to have hailed from the earlier Jackin (from the name Jankin). Alternatively, it may be derived from an anglicisation of Jacques, the French form of the name James or Jacob. There is also a theory that it is Celtic in origin, meaning "healthy, strong, full of vital energy" (compare the Welsh word ''iach'', "health"), from a putative Ancient British ''Yakkios''.
