Jacoby

Jacoby is a delightful twist on the more traditional Jacob. It hails from Hebrew origins and carries the same meaning—supplanter. While Jacob has long been a favorite in many English-speaking countries, Jacoby offers a contemporary and slightly exotic alternative that has been gaining traction. You might find it especially appealing if you're looking for a name that's familiar yet distinctly different. Jacoby is often associated with sports figures and celebrities, which may contribute to its rising appeal. Common nicknames include Jake or even Coby, giving you some flexibility depending on how casual or formal you’d like to be.
