ArchivesJack vs. Jacques...?
JACK is said to come from JACKIN < JANKIN < JOHN, where
JACQUES is said to come from JACOB.
Are these two names really unrelated etymologically speaking?
And then JOCK < JACK, not JACQUES?

Pure chance. Just as the Ash in Ashley is the tree, not the product of combustion!
My 6th-grade teacher, taking us through the French Revolution, claimed that Jean-Jacques Rousseau's names were the equivalent of John-Jack. I didn't dispute it, but I went to the library and checked, which is more than she ever did.
