Supplanter or holder of the heel
Jacory is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the classic name Jacob with the popular suffix -ory, as seen in names like Cory or Gregory. As a derivative of Jacob, it shares the Hebrew meaning of one who follows or supplants. It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend of creating rhythmic, multi-syllabic masculine names.
