Meaning of my name

Dis gewoonlik maar 'n ander manier om 'n vroulike vorm van Jacobus te maak - Jaco, nou ja, en die -let is wel Frans van oorsprong, dieselfde as ons -tjie, maar hulle spel dit -lette. Klink egter dieselfde.
Jy is dus 'n klein, Franserige Jacoba! En as ek dit reg het beteken Jacobus/a: die een wat oorneem. Interessant, is dit nie?

Are there real names...
with the ending -tjie in Afrikaans names like -tje in Dutch and Frisian names? - I just haven't ever seen such an ending... Is it pronounced the same waz as -tje?

P.S. interesting, indeed!

In Afrikaans the standard diminutive ending is -tjie, pronounced more or less like: key. Depending on what precedes it, you sometimes get just a -jie (hond > hondjie) or -ie (oom > omie) or -pie after a nasal (oom > oompie).
Names-wise, yes, it happens. A woman named Marie (MAH-rie), for instance, can go through life answering to: Marietjie (mah-REE-kee). And Dorothea could be Theatjie (TEE-a-key) or Doortjie (DOO-er-key). Male names tend I think to get the -ie ending: Jan > Jannie, Koos > Kosie, Frik > Frikkie.

Thanks Anneza!

I have seen the name Jakol as a German and Russian nickname and/or derivative of the name Jacob. The addition of 'et' (or 'ette') is a French feminization.
