Modern invented name, possibly meaning 'bird' or 'supplanter'
Jaquail is a contemporary American name likely created by combining the popular 'Ja-' prefix with the word 'quail' (the bird) or as a creative variation of names like Jacob or Quailen. It follows the rhythmic patterns of late 20th-century African American naming traditions. Because it is a modern coinage, it lacks a singular ancient etymology.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Jaquail in 2025.
