Etymology of JacklinWhat does the name Jacklin mean? Jacklin is an ancient Norman name that arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Jacklin 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 Jacklin familyThe surname Jacklin 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 Jacklin familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Jacklin research.

Jacklin Spelling VariationsA multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Jackling, Jacklin, Jacklings, Jacqueline, Jacoline and many more.
