Jack for me is derived from
Jacques. In french Jacky is a Pet form of Jacques. In german we have Jackel and Jockel for Jakob and in dutch Jaak or Sjaak for Jacobus. Only in english Jack is associated with John; in the other languages is always a pet form for Jacob/James and it works good because the

According to the Jack disambiguation says 'Jack (name), originally a nickname for Jacob (Latin, French) and James (Middle
English), from Hebrew " has protected"., and hence' but this page says 'It was originally a nickname for the names John and Jacob.' Later in this article it says 'Although it may

Shouldn't he be on the list of notable Jacks? I know that almost definitely wasn't his real name but it is the one he's known by, and he would definitely count as an (in)famous Jack. I don't know what category he would go in, though, as it most likely wasn't his given name but he wasn't fictional,

Jacques—which is cognate with the names James and Jacob—native speakers of English would almost certainly associate the name "Jack" with "John," rarely with "Jacob," and probably never with "James."' which suggests that it's related to James.
203:
I agree with him: Jack must be a short for Jacob or James. The John's association is a Big
Mistake and even if it's now a tradition is not correct. In all the languages Jack is always Linked To Jacob's cognates. Only in english is a pet for John. The Jankin's theory have no sense for me.

The name Jakke was so common in
England that it came to be used for addressing any male, originally especially one considered a social inferior, and was extended to designate any male person, male animals, and even a variety of inanimate objects, such as the device named

Hello, I added a music category because I thought
Captain Jack, which is the song that got the record companies interested in Billy Joel and has been heard almost every day on Classic Rock stations in my lifetime.

Why is there a map listing China as a country where Jack is popular? That's just silly. Chinese names do not share ancestry with western names and any chinese name sounding like Jack is incidental.

I thought it was originally from Jacob/James, and that John was an orignally incorrect but now common connection. The article reads as if John was always the connection - is that really true? -

Removed from the list of notable Jack's. He is a petty criminal and has been charged with a hideous offence (rape). His only "fame" is from being married to a reprehensible female.

A closer look at London shows that as of 1994 "Jack" was the most popular given name in the city, but does not appear among the top-ten most popular in the preceding 970 years.

I'm a Jack derived from Jacob and i'm proud of it. Not all the Jacks are Johns in origin. Jack have more sense as a pet form for Jacob/James. That's my opinion.
