Fan Casting Jacob/James(Jacobs, Jacobsen, Jacobson, Jakob, Jameson, Jamison)

Role added by connieblackwood on October 12, 2023

Description of Jacob/James (Jacobs, Jacobsen, Jacobson, Jakob, Jameson, Jamison):

From the Latin Iacob, which was from the Greek Ἰακώβ (Iakob), which was from the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov). In the Old Testament Jacob (later called Israel) is the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", because he twice deprived his brother of his rights as the firstborn son (see Genesis 27:36). Other theories claim that it is in fact derived from a hypothetical name like יַעֲקֹבְאֵל (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect".
