Zhakelina

Zhakelina is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin. As a unique form of Jacqueline, it’s related to Jacque, which in turn comes from Jacob. In the Hebrew Bible, Jacob tries to be the first one to come out of his mother’s womb by pulling at his twin brother’s feet. This story is what informs the moniker’s meaning “he who supplants.” So if you were looking to foster a healthy competitive streak in baby, Zhakelina rises to the challenge like no other.
