Yaqub is the Arabic and Persian form of the biblical name Jacob, meaning 'he who follows' or 'supplanter.' With roots in Semitic languages, it has been used throughout the Islamic world for centuries, honoring the prophet Yaqub mentioned in the Quran (known as Jacob in the Bible). The name carries connotations of strength, persistence, and spiritual heritage. While traditional in Muslim communities across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, Yaqub has gained modest recognition in Western countries with diverse populations. The name maintains its authentic cultural significance while being relatively straightforward for non-Arabic speakers to pronounce.
