Joacim is Hebrew in Origin.

Joacim is a Scandinavian spelling of Joachim, ultimately from Hebrew Yehoyaqim (“Yahweh establishes/raises up”), built from the theophoric Yeho- (YHWH) and the verb qum “to arise, establish.” The name entered Greek as Ioakeim and Latin as Joachim, carrying the sense “established by God” or “raised by the Lord.”

In scripture, the cognate Jehoiakim is a king of Judah, and Christian tradition venerates Saint Joachim as the father of the Virgin Mary, which spread the name across Europe. Joacim is used chiefly in Sweden and Norway, where the c-form sits beside the more common Joakim; related variants include Joachim (German/French), Joaquim (Portuguese/Catalan), Joaquín (Spanish), Ioakim/Ioachim (Greek, Slavic, Romanian), and diminutives such as Jocke and Kim in Swedish. The name saw steady modern use in Scandinavia from the late 20th century, appreciated for its biblical heritage and crisp, contemporary look.
