Not just a nickname for John: it's a biblical name (Jacob) found in many countries (Jacques where I come from)

For example Jack Rakan, as his pactio card states: "Jacobus Racan" (btw, in Polish it would be Jakub)

"[...] This is paralleled in many other European languages, such as the German Hans, the Scottish Highlands Ian, or the Russian Prince Ivan." In Germany, a Jack remains a Jack (when Hollywood films get translated, i mean). Hans is merely the stereotypical blonde German boy. I can hardly imagine that anyone could take a villain named Hans really seriously. It's also in general a name rarely found in German movies.
