Iakob

Iakob is a boy’s name of Hebrew origin. It means “he who supplants.” This name has significant biblical roots, as Jacob is a major figure in the Bible, known as the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. The meaning of the name is derived from Jacob being born holding on to the heel of his older twin brother Esau. Iakob is used in various forms in many different cultures and languages, including Jacob, Jakob, Iacob, Yakov, and Yaqub, among others.
