Jacquenette

Jacquenette is a feminine name of English creation that’s a fun spin on Jacqueline and, in turn, the French name Jacques. Based on the Hebrew name Jacob, it translates to “supplanter” or “holder of the heel,” connecting your little one to a well-known story in the Abrahamic religions. Jacob is described as being born holding the heel of his twin brother Esau, foreshadowing Jacob taking his older brother’s birthright. If you’re looking for a way to inspire your little one’s ambition and teach them the art of careful, patient planning, Jacquenette makes for plenty of material.
