Jacquel

Jacquel is a gender-neutral name that offers the best of both Jacques and Jacqueline. A French variant of Jacob, Jacquel derives from Yaʿaqov, a Hebrew title meaning "supplanter" or "holder of the heel." In the Hebrew Bible, Jacob is a son of Isaac and Rebecca, who is born holding his twin brother's heel, depriving him of the right to be firstborn. Though your Jacquel may sometimes struggle to share toys or attention with younger siblings or friends, holding heels isn't likely to be one of their party tricks! Instead, their name will represent their willingness to pursue things that interest them, and let go of what doesn't, creating a life that is joyful and fulfilling.
