Comment left Dec 22, 2006: "my name is jacob and it means a "grabber" Jacob in the bible wrestled a angel to take all of its blessing, jacob had many blessing and was so stubborn so god gave him one defect, one shorter leg so hed always depend on him. okay thats all im typing" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 01, 2006: "Jacob does NOT mean "held by the heel". It means "holds the heel" and refers to the Old Testament story of Jacob's birth when he was born holding his twin brother's heel. It has come to mean "supplanter" which is a shame as the Biblical character was known to be studious and loving. If it weren't for the given meaning it would be a perfect name."
