Jacquesha is a unique and distinctive given name of French origin. It is derived from the French name Jacques, which is itself derived from the Latin name Iacobus, meaning "supplanter" or "seize by the heel". In biblical terms, this refers to the Jacob in the Old Testament who was born grasping his twin brother's heel and later received a blessing despite being the younger twin.
The name Jacquesha combines the traditional French name Jacques with the suffix "-sha", which is often used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) to create new names or adapt existing ones. This results in a name that blends French and African American cultural influences, reflecting the diverse nature of modern society.
Jacquesha does not appear to have any specific historical figures associated with it, nor are there any notable traditions or celebrations related to the name. Its unique blend of cultural influences makes it a standout choice for parents looking for an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
In the United States, the name Jacquesha was given to seven babies in 1991 and five babies in 1993. This means that a total of twelve children were named Jacquesha during those two years combined.
