A Hebrew name gently fading from the charts.
A nickname used instead of the male given name Jack, Jacques (and its cognates) or John.
Jacky is a boy's and girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a diminutive of Jack — a medieval English nickname for John, from the Hebrew meaning 'God is gracious.' With over 6,500 recorded births, Jacky carries the same breezy energy as Jackie and Jack in a spelling that feels slightly more casual and universally friendly.
Jacky was #1585 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #9328, but its charm endures.
