Origins and etymology of the name Jacopo
As we said, the name Jacopo is an archaic form of the name Giacomo or Giacobbe which is an adaptation of the Latin term Iacobus. More specifically, it is a different adaptation of the biblical Greek Iakobos from Iacobus, which is used in the New Testament to translate the Hebrew name Ya'aqov. Jacob is a name of biblical tradition, carried in the Old Testament by the son of Isaac and Rebecca and father of the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel (he was also called Israel).
Meaning of the name Jacopo
The Hebrew name Ya'aqov has an uncertain meaning: according to some sources it could be a theophoric name with the meaning of "God has protected", according to others, however, probably "he who takes by the heel", or "he who supplants" , because, according to the biblical narrative, Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau on the heel, and as an adult he stole his birthright.
It should be noted that the Hebrew name Ya'aqov in most languages has evolved into the name Giacomo alone, while in el paeseno it has taken two distinct variants: Jacob and later Giacomo.

Jacob was the most common name among the Jews in the first century AD but with the passing of the centuries to acquire greater fortune was the variant James which today is a fairly common name in the country, although in recent years there has been a growing spread of the variant Jacopo (or Iacopo).
