[Heb-NACO] יאקאב

[Barry Walfish]

My guess is that it's Germanic: Yakob/Jakob. The first two don't seem worth bothering with.

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
