Why do they call it Black Jack?

One such bonus was a ten-to-one payout if the player’s hand consisted of the ace of spades and a black jack (either the jack of clubs or the jack of spades). This hand was called a “blackjack”, and it is claimed that the name stuck to the game even though the ten-to-one bonus was soon withdrawn.

How do you start Black Jack?

Starting with the player to the dealer’s left, play each hand until it is completed before moving on. If a player has blackjack (and the dealer DOES NOT,) pay the player 3/2 their bet. If they bet $5, you pay them $7.50, for example. If the dealer also has blackjack, it’s a “push” and nobody wins.
