Jacqueline is an elegant and sophisticated feminine name of French origin, representing the feminine form of Jacques, which is the French equivalent of the biblical name Jacob. The name spread throughout the Western world in the 20th century and became one of the most popular and recognizable names, especially among Jewish families seeking a name with international appeal and deep biblical roots. In Hebrew, the name is written with the letter ז' with a geresh (ז') to indicate the special French pronunciation, conveying sophistication, beauty, and refined femininity. The biblical root of the name comes from Jacob the Patriarch, one of the founding fathers of the nation, whose name means "heel" or "he who supplants" - referring to his holding onto his twin brother Esau's heel at birth. Jacob was a central figure in the Bible, father of the twelve tribes, and a man who underwent a profound spiritual journey from deception and struggle to righteousness and elevation. The name Jacqueline carries all of this heritage, but in a more feminine and delicate package. It represents the feminine strength within biblical tradition, the ability to face challenges while maintaining grace and elegance. In Western culture, the name Jacqueline gained enormous popularity primarily due to famous figures who bore it, and it is perceived as a name for strong, intelligent women with impressive presence. In Israel, the name was adopted mainly by families of French or Western origin, but it is recognized and beloved among a broader audience as well. Women named Jacqueline are often perceived as having complex personalities - a combination of delicacy and strength, culture and courage. The name conveys timeless classicism that never goes out of style, while simultaneously carrying a hint of exoticism and internationality that gives it special charm.

In Kabbalah, the root Jacob represents the spiritual journey from matter to spirit, from the heel - the lowest part of the body - to the head and crown. Jacqueline as a feminine form carries the energy of Binah, the feminine sefirah representing deep understanding and the ability to contain and nurture. The name connects the biblical masculine energy with refined feminine expression.
