Jackub Origin and Meaning

The name Jackub is a boy's name.

Jackub is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Jacob or Jakub, the latter being the Central European (particularly Polish and Czech) form of the Hebrew name Ya'akov (Jacob). The name has biblical origins, referring to the patriarch Jacob in the Old Testament, and means 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel.' This spelling variation gives the traditional name a slightly distinctive quality while maintaining its recognizable sound. While not common in English-speaking countries, this spelling might be used by families with Central or Eastern European heritage or by parents seeking a unique spelling of the popular Jacob. The name combines ancient religious heritage with a contemporary spelling twist.
