Origin
Meaning and history of Jacquarius
The name Jacquarius is believed to have originated from a blend of the French masculine given name Jacques and the Latin suffix "-arius". Jacques itself is derived from the Latin name Jacobus, which is a variant of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov, meaning "supplanter" or "heel-catcher".
The suffix "-arius" is a Latin word-forming element that was often used to create adjectives or nouns from other words. When combined with a given name like Jacques, it likely served to create a unique surname or descriptive nickname related to that person.
While the name Jacquarius does not appear to have any direct historical or religious references, its components have a rich etymological background. Jacques has been a popular name in France and other French-speaking regions for centuries, with notable bearers including the philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) and the explorer Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), who claimed what is now Canada for France.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Jacquarius are relatively modern, with the first known examples dating back to the late 20th century. However, it's important to note that historical records, especially for less common names, can be incomplete or inconsistent.
Some notable individuals who have borne the name Jacquarius include:
1. Jacquarius Rashard Stancil (born 1989), an American football defensive back who played for the University of Tennessee.
2. Jacquarius Sconiers (born 1995), an American basketball player who played for the University of Texas at Arlington.
3. Jacquarius Rashaad Walker (born 1994), an American football defensive end who played for the University of Miami.
4. Jacquarius Shelby (born 1994), an American football defensive back who played for the University of Arkansas.
5. Jacquarius Jene Hawkins (born 1991), an American football wide receiver who played for the University of Central Arkansas.
While these examples provide insight into the relatively recent usage of the name Jacquarius, its origins can be traced back to the French and Latin languages, with a rich history and cultural significance.

FAQ
Jacquarius: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jacquarius?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 8 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jacquarius going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 42,844,292 US residents.
Is Jacquarius a common name?
We classify Jacquarius as "Very Rare". It ranks above 24.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 8 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jacquarius most popular?
The single biggest year for Jacquarius was 2000, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jacquarius is about 26 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jacquarius in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jacquarius a male name?

Is Jacquarius still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jacquarius in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jacquarius can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
