Meaning and history of Jakorie
The name Jakorie is a modern variation of the traditional name Jacob, which has its origins in the Hebrew language. The name Jacob is derived from the Biblical Hebrew word "Ya'aqov," meaning "supplanter" or "one who follows on another's heels." It is believed to have been first recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible, where Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the father of the twelve tribes of Israel.
While the name Jakorie is not found in ancient texts or historical records, its roots can be traced back to the Hebrew name Jacob. The earliest recorded examples of the name Jacob can be found in the Book of Genesis, which is estimated to have been written between the 15th and 13th centuries BCE.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Jacob or its variations. One of the most famous was Jacob ben Asher, a medieval scholar and codifier of Jewish law, who lived in the 14th century in Spain. Another notable figure was Jacob Grimm, the German philologist and co-author of the famous Grimm's Fairy Tales, who lived from 1785 to 1863.

FAQ
Jakorie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jakorie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jakorie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Jakorie a common name?
We classify Jakorie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jakorie most popular?
The single biggest year for Jakorie was 2008, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jakorie is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jakorie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jakorie a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jakorie in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jakorie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jakorie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jakorie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
