of Iakōbos
| Root | Ἰάκωβος (Iakōbos) |
| Core Meanings | Jacob, James, supplanter, heel-holder (from Hebrew Yaʿaqov) |
| Semantic Range | The personal name Jacob/James; may refer to the patriarch Jacob (Israel) or to various New Testament figures named James. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name links New Testament figures to the patriarch Jacob, ancestor of the twelve tribes of Israel, underscoring covenant continuity and Jewish identity within the early believing community. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,); proper name in the second declension, indicating possession, source, or relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form Ἰακώβου is genitive masculine singular, indicating possession or association, so "of Iakōbos" preserves the grammatical case and number. Retaining the transliterated form reflects the Greek lemma while maintaining its connection to the Hebrew name Yaʿaqov. |
