Etymology of JacklingWhat does the name Jackling mean? The name Jackling arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Jackling 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 Jackling familyThe surname Jackling 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 Jackling familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Jackling research.

Jackling Spelling VariationsEndless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Jackling, Jacklin, Jacklings, Jacqueline, Jacoline and many more.

To escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Jackling or a variant listed above:
