What is in a Name?

From 1999 through 2012, Jacob has been the most popular baby name for boys in United States.  It originally came from the Bible.  He was one of twin sons of Isaac and Rebecca. The name comes from Hebrew meaning "to follow"or "to be behind". This refers to the circumstances of Jacob's birth when he held on to the heel  of his older twin brother Esau (Genesis 25:26).  Jacob may also mean "follower of God" in Aramaic.

Jacob was one of the great patriarchs of the Old Testament

Jacob in the Bible account, fathered 12 sons, who became leaders of the 12 tribes of Israel. One of them was Joseph, (of the coat of many colors)  a key figure in the Old Testament. He proved to be a hard worker and was clever,
He used both his mind and strength to build his wealth and family.
Sometimes Jacob made his own rules, deceiving others for selfish gain. He did not trust God to work things out.  Even though God revealed himself to Jacob in the Bible, Jacob took a long time to become a true servant of the Lord.

 So this is the meaning of your name. 


This reminds me of a story about your dad.

When Tony was in 1st grade and he came home one day very upset.  He told me that the teacher made scrolls with the meaning of each of the students' name.

I asked him what his meant and he said his name meant "Worthless".  But when I opened the scroll, it said "Anthony means PRICELESS"!
You must always understand the true meaning of words!

To me Jacob means "loved the most".
