Hakop is Armenian in Origin.
Hakop is an Armenian masculine name, the Armenian form of Jacob/James. It derives from Hebrew Yaʿaqov, interpreted as “holder of the heel” or “supplanter.” In Armenian script it is Հակոբ; Eastern Armenian typically romanizes it as Hakob, while Western Armenian prefers Hagop. Hakop itself appears in the diaspora as an alternative transliteration, and pronunciation varies between ha-KOB and ha-GOP.
The name has deep currency in Armenian history and church life, honoring the biblical patriarch Jacob and the apostles James, as well as the revered fourth-century Saint Jacob of Nisibis (Surb Hakob Mtsbnetsi). Notable bearers include the early printer Hakob Meghapart. Common diminutives are Ago and Hakobik/Hagopik. Related surnames - Hakobyan/Hagopian - mean “descendant of Hakob.” International cognates span Jacob, Jakob, Jakub, James, Seumas/Hamish, Jacques, Jaime, Iago, Giacomo, Diego, Santiago, and Tiago.
