<p>Jakab is a masculine name of Hungarian origin and is the Hungarian form of Jacob. The name ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Ya'aqov (יַעֲקֹב), meaning 'holder of the heel' or 'supplanter,' referring to the biblical story where Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel. Jakab has been a traditional name in Hungary for centuries and remains moderately popular in Hungarian-speaking regions.
