Jakyan is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'God is gracious'. It is derived from the Hebrew elements 'Yakob' meaning 'supplanter', and 'Yah' which refers to God. The name was popularized through the biblical figure Jacob, the patriarch of Israel who wrestled with an angel and received the new name Israel. Jakyan is a unique and distinctive name that offers a contemporary take on classic biblical roots.
"Jakyan was quite uncommon that year with only five newborns named so."
