Jaekob is of Hebrew origin, derived from the element 'Ya'aqov', which means 'held by the heel'. It's a variant spelling of Jacob, a popular biblical name given to the son of Isaac and Rebekah in the Old Testament. In the story, Jacob wrestled with an angel and was renamed Israel after defeating it, thus establishing his place in history.
"Jaekob appears to have been quite popular for a brief period, with the most births occurring in 2002 and 2004. However, the name's popularity seems to have waned after 2008, with only five births recorded in 2010."
