Jake

The name Jack finds its origins in the Hebrew language. It is primarily used by parents as a name for their boys. This name is the diminutive form of the name Jacob. This is a name with Biblical origins, in the story of Jacob, who was Esau’s twin brother. In this story, Jacob came out holding his twin brother’s heel and goes on to usurp him and seize his birthright, which is apt, as the meaning of Jack is to be a ‘supplanter' or 'usurper’ or 'the act of seizing by the heel’. Jack is also the diminutive for Jason, John, Johann and Johannes. This name was also made popular through the story of 'Jack and the Giant' and there is also a place known as Jack County, which is in Texas. There have been a number of famous figures with this name. Jack O'Connell is a British actor, known for his roles in 'Skins', 'This is England' and 'Unbroken'. Jack Quaid is another actor with the name, this time from America. He is known for playing Hughie in the hit Amazon TV show 'The Boys'.
