Jochemus is Hebrew in Origin.

Jochemus is a Latinized Dutch/Low German form of Jochem, itself a vernacular of Joachim, from Hebrew Yehoyaqim meaning "Yahweh will establish" or "God will establish." The -us ending reflects the ecclesiastical and legal habit of rendering names in Latin in early modern baptismal and university registers across the Low Countries and adjacent German regions. In everyday speech the bearer was typically called Jochem or Jochum; Jochemus appears chiefly in 17th to 19th century documents influenced by church chancery style.

Variants include Joachim (standard), Joachimus (Latin), Jochem/Jochum (Dutch/Low German), Jokum/Joakim (Scandinavian), Achim (German), and Joaquim (Portuguese/Catalan), and Joaquín (Spanish); feminine counterparts are Joachima and Joaquina. The name’s prominence stems from Saint Joachim, traditionally Mary’s father, anchoring its Christian resonance. Today Jochemus is rare and antiquarian, seen mostly in genealogical records, while Jochem or Joachim serve as contemporary, wearable forms.
