Jacque

Jacque is a given name, typically masculine, derived from the French name Jacques. Jacques is the French equivalent of the English name James, which ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Jacob (Ya'aqov) meaning "supplanter." Jacque, therefore, carries the same etymological root and associated meaning. It can also be used as a feminine given name, although this is less common. Notable people with similar names include Jacques Cousteau and Jacques Chirac. The name's popularity fluctuates over time and varies geographically.
