      The origins of the name Jaclynn can be traced back to France. Derived from the French language, Jaclynn is a variant of the name Jacqueline, which itself is a feminized form of the name Jacques. In French, the name Jacques means supplanter, implying one who takes the place of another. This name has a rich history and has been used throughout various periods.
