History

Etymology

Transferred use of the personal name Jack. (cricket: eleventh batsman): An allusion to the jack in playing cards, which follows the 10.

From Middle English Jackin, Jankyn, a popular pet form of John; rarely also an anglicized form of French Jacques (equivalent of Jacob and James). It can be also used as nickname for Jacob. Though the name was originally a pet form, it has become more of an independent name. Equivalent to John + -kin, Jake or Jacques. See also Middle French Hennequin, Jannequin and Middle Dutch Janneken.

Inherited from Middle English jakke, from Anglo-Norman jacke, Middle French jaque, jacque, from jacques (“peasant”), from the proper name Jacques. Compare jacquerie.

From Portuguese jaca (“jackfruit”), from Malayalam ചക്ക (cakka).

Named after William Jack, the Scottish botanist who described the species.
