Rare enough to double-check

Jecke doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct German form is Jecke, spelled J-E-C-K-E.

Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Jecke appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Auch gab es unter den Jeckes, also jenen aus Deutschland stammenden Juden, die sprachlich und kulturell ihrer einstigen Heimat verbunden geblieben waren, so manche, die sich bereitwillig auf einen Dialog mit diesen Besuchern einließen.“
„Da Du-nour keine Jeckin war und daher nie erleben konnte, welche Sprache Jeckes verwenden, wenn sie ganz unter sich sind, ging sie davon aus, dass Jeckes immer bewusst hebräische Begriffe einfließen lassen beziehungsweise Code-Switching praktizieren, um ihr jeckisches Deutsch vom Deutsch der heutigen Deutschen abzugrenzen.“
