Jack is popular in the countries shown in green
Jack is a given name, a diminutive of John; alternatively, it may be derived from Jacques, the French form of James or Jacob.[1] Since the late 20th century, Jack has become one of the most common names for boys in many English-speaking countries. It may also be a short form of the male name Jackson. Jack is also used to a lesser extent as a female given name, often as a shortened version of Jacqueline.[2]
The word «jack» is also commonly used in other contexts in English for many occupations, objects and actions, linked to the use of the word as a metaphor for a common man.
Origin[edit]
Jack is thought by some to have hailed from the earlier Jackin (from the name Jankin).[1][3] Alternatively, it may be derived from an anglicisation of Jacques, the French form of the name James or Jacob.[1] There is also a theory that it is Celtic in origin, meaning «healthy, strong, full of vital energy» (compare the Welsh word iach, «health»), from a putative Ancient British Yakkios.[4][unreliable source?] Both the name and the word «jack» were long used as a term to refer to any man, especially of the common classes.[5][6]
Frequency[edit]
In several English-speaking countries, Jack has become increasingly used as a formal name, rather than being a mere nickname as it traditionally has been. In its own right, it is now more popular than John, James, and Jacob. In recent years, Jack has been the most common given name for boys in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, and has grown in popularity in the United States.
John–from which Jack was often derived—was, along with William, the most frequent male name throughout the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century.[7] Jack appeared on the lists of the most frequently used male-baby names in the UK for 2003–2007.[8][9][10]
In 2014, Jack was again the most popular name for baby boys in Ireland.[11]
In 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013, Jack was the most common name given to boys in Australia.[12]
According to the United States Census of 1990, Jack is an uncommon American name, the given name for 0.315% of the male population and 0.001% of the female population.[2][13][14] However, the frequency of Jack as a baby name has steadily increased from the 160–170 rank prior to 1991 to a rank of 35 in 2006.[15]
Jock is a common diminutive of the name John in Scotland.
Other uses in English[edit]
The name Jack is unusual in the English language for its frequent use as a noun or verb for many common objects and actions, and in many compound words and phrases.
Examples include implements, such as a car jack, knucklebones (the game jacks), or the jack in bowls.
The word is also used in other words and phrases such as: apple jack, hijack, jack of clubs (playing card), jack straw (scarecrow), jack tar (sailor), jack-in-the-box, jack-of-all-trades, Jack the lad, jack o’lantern, jackdaw, jackhammer, jackknife, jackpot, lumberjack, Union Jack, etc.
The history of the word is linked to the name being used as a by-name for a man.[5]

Jack is popular in the countries shown in green
Jack is a given name, a diminutive of John; alternatively, it may be derived from Jacques, the French form of James or Jacob.[1] Since the late 20th century, Jack has become one of the most common names for boys in many English-speaking countries. It may also be a short form of the male name Jackson. Jack is also used to a lesser extent as a female given name, often as a shortened version of Jacqueline.[2]
The word «jack» is also commonly used in other contexts in English for many occupations, objects and actions, linked to the use of the word as a metaphor for a common man.
Origin[edit]
Jack is thought by some to have hailed from the earlier Jackin (from the name Jankin).[1][3] Alternatively, it may be derived from an anglicisation of Jacques, the French form of the name James or Jacob.[1] There is also a theory that it is Celtic in origin, meaning «healthy, strong, full of vital energy» (compare the Welsh word iach, «health»), from a putative Ancient British Yakkios.[4][unreliable source?] Both the name and the word «jack» were long used as a term to refer to any man, especially of the common classes.[5][6]
Frequency[edit]
In several English-speaking countries, Jack has become increasingly used as a formal name, rather than being a mere nickname as it traditionally has been. In its own right, it is now more popular than John, James, and Jacob. In recent years, Jack has been the most common given name for boys in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, and has grown in popularity in the United States.
John–from which Jack was often derived—was, along with William, the most frequent male name throughout the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century.[7] Jack appeared on the lists of the most frequently used male-baby names in the UK for 2003–2007.[8][9][10]
In 2014, Jack was again the most popular name for baby boys in Ireland.[11]
In 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013, Jack was the most common name given to boys in Australia.[12]
According to the United States Census of 1990, Jack is an uncommon American name, the given name for 0.315% of the male population and 0.001% of the female population.[2][13][14] However, the frequency of Jack as a baby name has steadily increased from the 160–170 rank prior to 1991 to a rank of 35 in 2006.[15]
Jock is a common diminutive of the name John in Scotland.
Other uses in English[edit]
The name Jack is unusual in the English language for its frequent use as a noun or verb for many common objects and actions, and in many compound words and phrases.
Examples include implements, such as a car jack, knucklebones (the game jacks), or the jack in bowls.
The word is also used in other words and phrases such as: apple jack, hijack, jack of clubs (playing card), jack straw (scarecrow), jack tar (sailor), jack-in-the-box, jack-of-all-trades, Jack the lad, jack o’lantern, jackdaw, jackhammer, jackknife, jackpot, lumberjack, Union Jack, etc.
The history of the word is linked to the name being used as a by-name for a man.[5]

В Викисловаре есть статья «Джек (имя)» |
Джек (англ. Jack, произносится как [Джэк]) — мужское имя, хотя в крайне редких случаях может быть использовано в качестве женского имени[1] и иногда в качестве фамилии. В английском языке это имя является уменьшительной формой имён Джон (John) или Джейкоб (Jacob), хотя имя «Джек» часто дают как самостоятельное имя собственное[2].

Происхождение
Имя Джек происходит от среднеанглийского личного имени Jankin с вариантами, включающими Jakken и Jakke, образованными добавлением суффикса «-kin» (аналогичного немецкому «-chen») к имени Jan, в свою очередь являющимся укороченной версией французской версии имени Jehan (подобно тому, как John образовано укорачиванием латинской формы имени Johannes). Jankin стало Jakken (или Jackin) и в конце концов Jack. Эта краткая форма могла стать результатом влияния аналогичного по звучанию французского имени Jacques, которое происходит от имён James и Jacob. Тем не менее, это сходство может быть совпадением: носители английского языка исторически связывают имя Jack с John и лишь изредка с именем Jacob, для которого обычно краткой формой является Jake.
Имя Jakke было настолько распространено в Англии, что оно стало использоваться для обращения к любому мужчине, первоначально данная особенность считалась социальной уступкой и была распространена для обозначения любого лица мужского пола, мужской особи животных и даже различных неодушевлённых предметов, подобно устройству под названием домкрат (в англ. Jack) для подъёма тяжёлых грузов.
Распространённость
Личное имя
В Англии, Уэльсе и Северной Ирландии «Джек» было наиболее часто используемым именем для младенцев по крайней мере в период 2003–2007 годов.[3][4][5] Обратившись к историческим записям, можно видеть, что высокий статус имени Джек в качестве мужского личного имени — лишь недавнее явление. За весь XIX век и первую половину XX века наиболее часто используемыми мужскими личными именами были Уильям и John.[6] Более пристальный взгляд на Лондон показывает, что по состоянию на 1994 год «Джек» является самым популярным личным именем в городе, но не фигурирует в десятке самых популярных за предыдущие 970 лет.[6] Проведённое в декабре 2008 года изучение показало, что Джек является самым популярным именем в Великобритании 14-й год подряд, обойдя в 1994 году имя Томас.
Согласно переписи населения США 1990 года, «Джек» является необычным американским именем, имеющимся у 0,315% мужского и 0,001% женского населения.[1][7][8] Тем не менее, частота использования «Джек» при даче имени ребёнку неуклонно увеличивается и выросло с 160-170 места перед 1991 годом до 35 места в 2006 году.[9]
Фамилия
Появление «Джек» в качестве фамилии гораздо реже, чем использование его в качестве мужского имени. В Соединённых Штатах 1990 года эту фамилию имело около 0,007% населения, хотя географическое распределение фамилии было широким начиная по крайней мере с 1840 года, в то время скромная концентрация Джексов была в Пенсильвании.[7][10][11] В конце XIX века географическое распределение Джексов в Англии также было обширным с повышением плотности в Северо-Восточной Англии, Йоркшире и Хамбере и на юге Северо-Западной Англии.[12]
