Jakov is a ♂ male name.
Jakov is a Slavic form of the name Jacob, which is of Hebrew origin (originally Ya’aqov / יַעֲקֹב).
Jakov means “may God protect” and “holder of the heel” (from Hebrew “‘akév/עָקֵב” = heel) or “supplanter” (from Hebrew “‘akáv/עָקַב” = to follow/to supplant), because he was born grasping the heel of his first born twin brother Esau and he bought his birthright to supplant him.
