Jacobyna Origin and Meaning

The name Jacobyna is a girl's name.

Jacobyna is a feminine variation of the name Jacob, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'supplanter' or 'holder of the heel.' This elegant and distinctive variant adds a feminine touch to the traditional male name through its suffix. While not as common as other Jacob derivatives like Jacqueline or Jacobina, Jacobyna offers a unique alternative with the same rich biblical heritage. The name carries the strength and historical significance of Jacob, who was an important patriarch in biblical tradition. Though relatively rare in most English-speaking countries, Jacobyna may be found more frequently in Eastern European communities where variations of biblical names with distinctive endings are traditional.
