Herkunft & Geschichte
Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Jacob', from the Hebrew Ya'aqov, meaning 'supplanter' or 'he who follows at the heel', referring to the biblical patriarch Jacob who grasped his twin brother Esau's heel at birth. Jacob was a widely used given name in post-Reformation Denmark, appearing in both Christian and Jewish communities. The surname is distinct from the Norse-origin Jakobsen and is found across all Danish regions. Approximately 52,000 Danes carry this name.
