Etymology of JackalinWhat does the name Jackalin mean? Jackalin is one of the names that was brought to England in the wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Jackalin family name comes from the name of an ancestor, as in 'the son of Jacqueline,' a name probably introduced from Flanders. 1 2 Alternatively, the name could have been derived from the French Jacquelin, a diminutive of James. 3 Early Origins of the Jackalin familyThe surname Jackalin was first found in Yorkshire where the singular Latin form of the name Jakelinus, was listed in 1219. This may have been a forename as later we found Jakelinus de Boule listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Sussex in 1327. Elias Jakelyn was found in the Subsidy Rolls for Sussex in 1296 and Edmund Jakelin was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Suffolk in 1327. 4 The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 includes entries for Thomas de (sic) Jaclyn and Petrus Jaclyn. 1 Early History of the Jackalin familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Jackalin research.

Jackalin Spelling VariationsThe English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Jackalin has been recorded under many different variations, including Jackling, Jacklin, Jacklings, Jacqueline, Jacoline and many more.

Migration of the Jackalin familyTo escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Jackalins were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: Edmund Jackling, who sailed to Boston in 1635; and George Jacklin who was on record in New York in 1862.
