Jack /jack/ [1 syll.] as a boys' name is pronounced jak. It is of Old English and Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Jack is God is gracious; he who supplants. Name based on John (Hebrew), or Jacques, the French form of Jacob (Hebrew). The name has a rugged, down-to-earth aura.
The form James comes from Latin Jacobus via Late Latin Jac(o)mus, which also gave rise to Jaime, the regular form of the name in Spanish (as opposed to the learned Jacobo). See also Jack and Jackman. This is a common surname throughout the British Isles, particularly in South Wales.
