Jackey

Jackey is a name of English origin, derived from the medieval English personal name 'Jack', which was originally a diminutive of John. The name John comes from the Hebrew name 'Yochanan', meaning "God is gracious". Therefore, Jackey can be interpreted as a variant spelling of Jackie or Jacky, both of which are diminutives of John.
