Jakeb

Jakeb is a modern-sounding masculine name of Hebrew origin. It might come as no surprise that it is a variant of Jacob, which was one of the most popular names in the US throughout the early 2000s. Although it is still quite a fan favorite, this classic moniker has been around for centuries and can be spelled in a variety of ways. Typically masculine, it comes from the Latin root Iacobus or the Greek Ἰάκωβος, meaning “he who supplants.”
