| Root | Ἰάκωβος (Iakōbos) |
| Core Meanings | Jacob, James, supplanter, heel-grabber |
| Semantic Range | The personal name Jacob/James; refers to the patriarch Jacob (Israel) or to several Second Temple and New Testament figures bearing the same name. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name links New Testament figures called James to the patriarch Jacob (Israel), reinforcing continuity between Israel’s ancestral heritage and the early Messianic community. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS = Noun, accusative, masculine, singular; proper name used as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form Ἰάκωβον is the accusative masculine singular of Ἰάκωβος, the Greek form of the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Yaʿaqov). As an accusative singular proper noun, it functions as the direct object in its clause; English does not mark case for proper nouns, so "Jacob" accurately preserves both the name and its grammatical role. |
