Jaak is a masculine name with Estonian and Dutch origins, serving as a variation of Jacob or Jack. In Estonia, it's a traditional name that has maintained steady popularity over generations. The name also appears in Dutch-speaking regions, particularly in Flanders (Belgium). Derived from the Hebrew name Ya'akov (Jacob), its ultimate meaning connects to 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel,' referencing the biblical story of Jacob's birth. The double 'a' spelling creates a distinctive pronunciation, typically sounding like 'yahk' rather than 'jack.' Jaak has a concise, strong sound while maintaining international appeal. Though uncommon in English-speaking countries, its simplicity and cross-cultural connections make it an accessible choice for parents seeking a name with European heritage.
