The J in poker is Jack in English.

Historical origin:

The word JACK (JACK) in poker was originally the word KNAVE (villain). This word was still quite popular in the UK and continental Europe until the 1940s. Use this word.

One of the reasons why using JACK instead of KNAVE was quickly accepted by the public is that it can be convenient when recording or reporting card cases, or when using abbreviations, or when describing the playing process. The first letter J of the word JACK is used correctly. In the past, when using the word KNAVE, you had to use Kn. If you only use K, it will cause confusion.
