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.
Given name. In recent years (most notably since 2003), the nickname Jack (for the more formal John and, to a lesser extent, for Jacob) has become increasingly used as the actual formal name (i.e., baptismal name rather than a nickname) for boys in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the United States, and Wales.
