Origin
Meaning and history of Jacquille
The given name Jacquille is believed to have its origins in the French language, with the earliest known record of its use dating back to the late 16th century. It is derived from the French masculine name Jacques, which itself is a variant of the Latin name Jacobus, meaning "supplanter" or "one who follows." This Latin name traces its roots back to the Hebrew name Ya'akov, borne by one of the biblical patriarchs.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Jacquille was a French nobleman, Jacquille de Montfort, who lived in the late 16th century and was known for his role in the Wars of Religion that plagued France during that time. Another notable bearer of this name was Jacquille Lemaire, a 17th-century French artist and engraver who gained recognition for his intricate etchings and woodcuts.
In the 18th century, Jacquille Rousseau, a French philosopher and writer, made a significant contribution to the Enlightenment movement with his works on political philosophy, education, and social contract theory. His birth in 1712 marked a pivotal point in the use of this name.
Moving into the 19th century, Jacquille Offenbach, a German-born French composer and cellist, became renowned for his operettas and contributions to the development of French operatic theatre. He was born in 1819 and lived until 1880.
Finally, in the 20th century, Jacquille Cousteau, a French naval officer, explorer, and conservationist, gained international acclaim for his groundbreaking work in underwater exploration and his efforts to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the world's oceans. He was born in 1910 and passed away in 1997.
These are just a few examples of notable individuals who have borne the name Jacquille throughout history, each contributing to various fields and leaving an indelible mark on their respective eras.

FAQ
Jacquille: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jacquille?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jacquille 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 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Jacquille a common name?
We classify Jacquille as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jacquille most popular?
The single biggest year for Jacquille was 1994, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jacquille is about 32 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 Jacquille in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jacquille a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jacquille in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jacquille still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jacquille 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 Jacquille 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.
