Hagop

Hakop (Armenian: Հակոբ in Eastern Armenian, pronounced hakob or Յակոբ in Western Armenian, pronounced hagop is a common Armenian first name. It is the Armenian version of Hebrew: יַעֲקֹב, Standard Yaʿaqob Tiberian Yaʿăqōḇ; Arabic: يعقوب‎, Yaʿqūb; "heel"; Septuagint Greek Ἰακώβ and thus a cognate of the English names Jacob and James. In the United States, a common English version is Jack.

It has been used in Armenian since pre-Christian times.

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