Jacobia, derived from the Latin 'Iacobus', is a variant of the Hebrew name Jacob. It means "supplanter" or "held by the heel," which references the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with an angel and prevailing. The name has been used sparingly throughout history but gained some traction in recent years due to its unique sound and spelling. It's often associated with individuals who prefer less common names or those seeking a distinctive moniker for their children.
Jacobia had five children born in 1993, making a total of five births for that year.
