Yakupova is in Origin.

Yakupova is a Slavicized Turkic patronymic-turned-given name, feminine in form due to the Russian suffix -ova. It derives from Yakup, a Turkic rendering of Arabic Ya'qub (Hebrew Ya'aqov), the name of the biblical and Qur'anic patriarch Jacob. The underlying Hebrew root 'aqev evokes "heel" and, by extension, "supplanter," the time-honored gloss for Jacob.

As a surname, Yakupova identified "daughter/descendant of Yakup" among Tatars, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, and other Muslim communities of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union; it remains widespread across the post-Soviet world and diaspora. When adopted as a first name, it follows the modern trend of surname-as-given-name and is read as feminine in Russian-influenced contexts. Variants include the masculine Yakupov; related given-name forms are Yakup, Yaqub, Yakub, Iakub, Iakov, Jakob, Jacob, and James. Transliterations may appear as Iakupova or Yakubova.
