Old English roots
Jackson means son of Jack, and since Jack derives from John meaning God is gracious, the name carries that ancient blessing at its root. It began as a patronymic surname — most famously borne by Andrew Jackson, the seventh US president. The name has been embraced by a generation of parents who love its frontier-spirit energy and musical connections: Jackson Five, Jackson Browne, Michael Jackson. It entered the US top 10 in 2010 and has remained one of the defining boy names of its era. Often shortened to the equally beloved Jax.
