Jachob
Jachob Origin and Meaning
Jachob is an uncommon spelling variation of Jacob, a name with Hebrew origins meaning 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel.' In the Bible, Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebecca who later became known as Israel, the patriarch of the Israelites. This alternative spelling with 'ch' instead of 'c' gives the traditional name a distinctive look while maintaining its familiar pronunciation. Jachob emerged as parents began seeking unique twists on classic names, though it remains relatively rare compared to the standard Jacob spelling. The name carries the rich biblical heritage and strong character associations of its traditional counterpart while offering a more individualistic presentation. Despite its unusual spelling, Jachob retains the approachable, timeless quality that has made Jacob consistently popular across generations.
