Jakolby
Meaning of Jakolby
Jakolby is a masculine given name chiefly encountered in the United States, emerging as a contemporary blend of the Hebrew-rooted Jacob—“supplanter”—and the English surname Colby—“dweller by the dark woods.” Pronounced juh-KOHL-bee (/dʒuˈkoʊlbi/) in both British and American English, the name strikes a measured balance between heritage and novelty. While never a household staple, Jakolby sustains a modest profile on national registries: in 2023 it ranked 923rd with six recorded births, a pattern echoed throughout the early 21st century. Its rarity ensures that bearers are unlikely to share their name with more than a handful of peers—an appealing prospect for families seeking subtle distinction.
