Jacobb is Hebrew in Origin.
Jacobb is a modern English respelling of Jacob, from Hebrew Ya‘aqov, likely derived from ʿaqev “heel”/“to supplant,” recalling the biblical figure who grasped his twin Esau’s heel and later became Israel. The name passed through Greek Iakobos and Latin Iacobus/Iacomus, later producing English James and French Jacques.
As a double-b ending variant, Jacobb preserves the standard pronunciation JAY-kub while lending a distinctive look in contemporary registries. Jacob has been favored across Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities since antiquity, surging again in the United States in the late 20th–early 21st centuries. International forms include Jakob (German/Scandinavian), Jakub (Polish/Czech), Yaakov (Hebrew), Yakov (Russian), and Ya‘qub (Arabic). Related names and diminutives: Jake, Coby/Cobie, Jago, Cobus/Kobus (Afrikaans/Dutch), Séamus and Hamish (from James), Iago, Diego, Giacomo; feminine Jacoba and Jacqueline.
