Origin:
hebrew
Name Root:
Yaʿăqōḇ > Yaʿakov
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Late Latin “Iacobus,” from the Ancient Greek “Iákōbos (Ἰάκωβος),” meaning “supplanter, held by the heel, heel-grabber, leg-puller.” In turn, the name derives from the Hebrew root “ʿqb > Yaʿakov,” meaning “to follow, to be behind,” and it referred to the circumstances of Jacob’s birth when he held on to the heel (Hebrew: ʿaqeb) of his older twin brother Esau. As described in the Hebrew Bible, Jacob, the Talmud, the New Testament, the Koran, and the scriptures of Baha’i as the third patriarch of the Jewish people with whom God made a covenant and ancestor of the tribes of Israel, who took their names from his descendants. In the Hebrew Bible, Jacob is Isaac and Rebecca’s son, and grandson of Abraham, Sarah, and Bethuel. Jacob is honored as a prophet of Islam; in fact, the name is commonly used as a baptismal name in Arabic and Muslim societies.
