Census
Jaquelinne in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 244 people with the first name Jaquelinne, which placed it at #33,765 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Jaquelinne
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jaquelinne is Hispanic at 93.9%. The next largest groups are White (3.3%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Jaquelinne described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Jaquelinne at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jaquelinne
The name Jaquelinne is a French feminine form of the male name Jacques, which is derived from the Hebrew name Jacob. The name Jacob means "supplanter" or "one who follows". In the Bible, Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the younger twin brother of Esau.
The name Jacques became popular in France during the Middle Ages, and the feminine form Jacqueline emerged as a variation. Jaquelinne is an alternative spelling of Jacqueline, which may have originated as a way to distinguish the pronunciation or as a regional variation.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Jaquelinne is from the 12th century, when it was mentioned in French literary works and historical records. During this time, the name was associated with nobility and aristocracy.
Throughout history, several notable women have borne the name Jaquelinne. One of the most famous was Jaquelinne of Hainaut (1401-1436), a Dutch noblewoman who was the wife of John I, Duke of Brabant. Another notable Jaquelinne was Jaquelinne de Longwy (1312-1391), a French noblewoman and landowner in the region of Lorraine.
In the 15th century, Jaquelinne de Bavière (1415-1486), a Dutch princess and daughter of John III, Duke of Bavaria, was a prominent figure. She was married to Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and played a significant role in the political affairs of the time.
In the 16th century, Jaquelinne de Rohan (1520-1587), a French noblewoman and member of the House of Rohan, was known for her involvement in the French Wars of Religion and her support for the Protestant cause.
Another notable Jaquelinne was Jaquelinne de Montbel (1542-1598), a French courtier and lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine de' Medici. She was known for her literary works and her influence in the French court during the Renaissance period.
While the name Jaquelinne has its origins in French and Hebrew cultures, it has been adopted and used in various parts of the world throughout history, with each bearer contributing to its rich legacy.

FAQ
Jaquelinne: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jaquelinne?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 156 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jaquelinne 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 2,197,143 US residents.
Is Jaquelinne a common name?
We classify Jaquelinne as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 159 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jaquelinne most popular?
The single biggest year for Jaquelinne was 2000, when 27 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jaquelinne is about 24 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jaquelinne in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 244 people with the name Jaquelinne, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #33,765 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Jaquelinne in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Jaquelinne?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jaquelinne appears almost entirely female. Of the 234 people counted with this name, 100.0% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Jaquelinne?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jaquelinne is Hispanic at 93.9%. The next largest groups are White (3.3%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Jaquelinne most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Jaquelinne in the 2020 Census, accounting for 93.9% (229 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
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 Jaquelinne in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jaquelinne a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jaquelinne in the SSA data are female. 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 Jaquelinne still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jaquelinne 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 Jaquelinne 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.
