No, two completely different things as one was a supporter of Republicanism and the other a supporter of a claim to a throne. A Jacobin was a supporter of the French Revolution named after the Jacobin club formed originally in Versailles by Breton deputies. Highly secretive it spread throughout France rapidly after its transfer to Paris. Robespierre was a member. It became increasingly extreme and backed by the Parisian mob instituted the "Reign of Terror". Torn apart by internal conflict it ending up executing Robespierre himself and fell apart closing itself down. Attempts to resurrect it under differing names failed as it ran into suppression and violence from its opponents, the last remnants ended up supporting Napoleon. A Jacobite was a supporter of the Stuart claim to the throne believing that James II and VII and his heirs was the legitimate King of England and Scotland (or Great Britain after 1707) which led to risings lasting from 1688 to 1746. The major ones in 1715 and 1745. Named after the Latin Jacobus for James. The risings were finally brought to an end at the battle of Culloden in 1746 and the suppression of the Highland power base in the aftermath. After the death of Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) his brother Henry relinquished the claim before he died.

Besides the very confusing writing, Jacobins didn't support Republicanism. They were extreme democrats.
