Origem e História

English and Scottish patronymic surname meaning 'son of Jack', where Jack was the most common medieval English diminutive of John — itself derived from the Hebrew 'Yohanan' (God is gracious). Jack was so universal a male given name in medieval England that it became synonymous with 'man' in expressions such as 'every man jack'. The name is common across northern England and Scotland, particularly in County Durham and Westmorland.
