Jaquelin

Jaquelin is a feminine name that can encourage your new arrival to take hold of their own destiny. A spin on the French name Jacqueline, the moniker has roots in the Hebrew name Jacob, meaning “supplanter” or “holder of the heel.” If you plan on sharing your faith with baby, this meaning comes from the story of Jacob in the Old Testament. He was born holding the heel of his twin brother Esau and is interpreted as taking his rights as a firstborn son from him. While baby may not be switching up birth orders anytime soon, the name Jaquelin can encourage them to take hold of their destiny with confidence.
