Jacobi

Jacobi is a surname of Hebrew origin, derived from the biblical name Jacob. The name Jacob means 'supplanter' or 'one who follows on another's heels'.

In the Bible, Jacob was the younger twin son of Isaac and Rebekah. He was born holding onto the heel of his older brother Esau. The name reflects the story of Jacob supplanting Esau's birthright and inheritance.

As a first name, Jacobi is a variant form of the more common Jacob or its Italian equivalent Giacomo. It has a strong biblical and Hebrew heritage with its meaning rooted in an important story from the Book of Genesis.

While not widely used, Jacobi has an interesting backstory and connection to important religious texts and history.
