Jack

Almost every person has grown up listening to the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, and sang the rhyme ‘Jack and Jill’. The name is said to have a Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Jack translates to ‘the Almighty is gracious’. Also, many people believe that this name has a Celtic origin, simply indicating to ‘being healthy and strong’, or ‘full of energy’. It can also be compared to the Welsh iach which simply means ‘health’. Jack has been a derivative of the name ‘John’ which comes from medieval England. The name became so common among the people in the Middle Ages, that Jack became a term used to describe a man or a boy. This name is actually among the most preferred for fictional characters as well! We have the quirky Captain Jack Sparrow from 'Pirates Of The Carribean' to the handsome and pleasing Jack Dawson from the 'Titanic'.
