Hagop


Hakop (Armenian: Հակոբ in Eastern Armenian pronounced Hakob or Յակոբ in Western Armenian, pronounced Hagop, Hebrew: יַעֲקֹב‎‎, Standard Yaʿaqov Tiberian Yaʿăqōḇ; Arabic: يعقوب‎, Yaʿqūb; "heel"; Septuagint Greek Ἰακώβ) is a common Armenian first name, it's a cognate of English names Jacob or James. Etymologically speaking, the name dates back to various centuries B.C., and is strictly exclusive to the Armenian region and language.

Its diminutive form is also common in the Armenian: Hakopik (Armenian: Հակոբիկ or Յակոբիկ). It is sometimes used as a last name as well, by adding the "ian" suffix: Hagopian (Armenian: Հակոբյան or Յակոբեան).
