Jakov (, ) is a masculine given name of Biblical origin and a saints' name. It is cognate to Jakob, Yakov, Jacob and James. It is often found in Croatia and Serbia, and also appears elsewhere.
The name Jacob is of Hebrew origin and means "God protects" and is also a Latin derivative of the original Hebrew name Jakow, which comes from the word Akev and literally translates as "heel".
