Jakobi

The name Jakobi is a variant spelling of the name Jacob, which is derived from the Hebrew name Ya'aqov. The name originates from the biblical figure Jacob, one of the three patriarchs of the Jewish faith and the son of Isaac and Rebekah.

The meaning of Jacob is often interpreted as 'supplanter' or 'one who follows', referring to the biblical story of Jacob's birth, where he is said to have been born holding on to his twin brother Esau's heel.

The variant spelling Jakobi is likely a modern adaptation, possibly influenced by other languages or cultural traditions. While not as common as the traditional Jacob, it retains the same basic meaning and cultural significance.

Regardless of the spelling, the name Jakobi carries a strong biblical and Judeo-Christian heritage and is often chosen by parents who wish to honor that tradition or connect their child to the biblical story of Jacob.
