Jakube

This surname is quite rare in the United States these days. However, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Jakube was introduced into American and Canadian society as the last name of a number of predominantly Jewish immigrants. These new entrants represented multiple nationalities, hailing from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, and Germany, to name a few.

As a given name, Jakube has had very little usage. Nonetheless, it could make for a meaningful honor name for those with immigrant ancestors.

Pronounced yah-KOO-beh.
