I’ve seen it transcribed Jacob in France and pronounced zhah – KOB.

Subject: [Heb-NACO] יאקאב

Dear Colleagues,

Is anyone familiar with the family name יאקאב?

We have not been consistent so far in establishing this name.  The following forms can be found in the Authority File:

Yakab

Yakav

Yakov

Yakob

I can establish it provisionally with the various references, but was wondering if anyone had definitive knowledge.

Thanks,
A
