Best Answer

You just basically answered it yourself. That's the NAME of the card itself. It's normal to be called that if it is what it's so usually called in most card games dealing with jacks.

If youre referring to metal jacks, the name is derived from 'chackstones'--meaning item to be thrown.Bones or stones were often used instead of the metal jacks.
