Jacob comes from Hebrew and means “he who supplants” or “he who takes by the heel.” The Biblical Jacob was the second-born of twins, sons of Isaac and Rebecca. He clutched the heel of his twin, Esau, and later bought Esau’s birthright as firstborn, explaining both meanings of his name. He is honored as a patriarch or prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The name is popular in the Jewish and Christian traditions. A Jacob sheep is a small spotted sheep with two to six horns.
