Dublin was always a British stronghold during British occupation and when members of the British royal family visited, Dublin people were out in huge numbers waving their British flags known as the Union Jack. This behavour was futher highlighted during the 1916 rising when another attempt was made by Irishmen to free Ireland from British tyranny. The rising was crushed by the British, with a trained force, much better armed and with superior numbers. Dublin people lined the streets and stoned the Irishmen who had fought in the rising as they were marched to jail. The leaders of this rising were executed by the British. Many Dublin people fearing reprisals for the rising flew the Union Jack from their homes, in a show of support for the British, much to the disgust of the rest of Ireland. The Union Jack is also known simply as the Jack and hence this was the name given to the Dublin people by the Irish in the remainder of the country. 'een' was added to the name Jack to make it Jackeen, as well as then having an Irish ring to it, 'een' in Gaelic means little. This then gives the name Jack a more derogatory effect, i.e. A Dubliner being called a Jackeen is a 'little Brit'.

∙ 10y agoIt is a slang name that goes back to when Ireland was under British occupation. When royalty paid visits to Dublin some Dublin people apparently waved the Union Jack as the royalty passed. Not everyone from other parts of Ireland or many Dubliners liked this, and from the Jack came the term Jackeen.
