Jacobb Origin and Meaning

The name Jacobb is a boy's name.

Jacobb represents a variation of the classic biblical name Jacob, featuring a distinctive double 'b' ending. The traditional name Jacob derives from Hebrew origins meaning 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel,' referring to the biblical story where Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel. This particular spelling maintains the strong, timeless quality of the original while adding a subtle uniqueness. Though significantly less common than the traditional spelling, Jacobb offers parents a way to use this beloved name while giving their child a slightly distinctive variation. The double consonant ending creates a visual distinction without changing the pronunciation, following a modern naming trend of modifying classic names with subtle spelling variations to create something familiar yet unique.
