Etymology

 * Jacqueline is the French feminine form of Jacques which is the French form of Iacobus, the New Testament Latin form of James, it is also a form of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov. In the Old Testament Jacob (later called Israel) is the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", because he twice deprived his brother of his rights as the firstborn son (see Genesis 27:36). Other theories claim that it is in fact derived from a hypothetical name like יַעֲקֹבְאֵל (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect".
 * Theodora is the feminine form of Theodore is from the Greek name Θεόδωρος (Theodoros), which meant "gift of god" from Greek θεός (theos) meaning "god" and δῶρον (doron) meaning "gift". This name was common in the Byzantine Empire, being borne by several empresses including the influential wife of Justinian in the 6th century.
 * Reed is a variant of Read which means "red" from Middle English read, probably denoting a person with red hair or complexion.
