After reading my brother’s recent tweet about Jack Bauer’s given name probably being John, this article on the origin of nicknames caught my eye.

Here’s one theory it suggests for the origin of “Jack”:

Normans added -kin when they wanted to make a diminutive. And Jen was their way of saying John. So little John became Jenkin and time turned that into Jakin, which ultimately became Jack.

The article also take stabs at explaining…

• Bill
• Hank
• Chuck
• Peggy
• Ted
• Harry
• Jim
• Sally
