Iacob (male)

Can be spelt:Jacob (M)

Private communication [LA]
Notes:

English medieval written form of Jacob [q.v].

  • A correspondent [LA] has pointed out that many [?most] earlier manuscripts used a common script for capitals "I" & "J". Thus Jacob may have been written and then transcribed as Iacob. Many on-line services have transcribed original documents faithfully so this version might be recorded in the indexes to earlier records.
