Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Pochádza z hebrejského mena Jəhōjāqīm (יְהוֹיָקִים), zloženého zo skrátenej podoby Božieho mena Jahve a slovesa qūm vo význame „povstať, pozdvihnúť“. Meno sa preto vykladá ako „Jahve pozdvihne“ alebo „nech Jahve pozdvihne“. Do európskych jazykov sa rozšírilo prostredníctvom gréckeho Iōakeim (Ἰωακείμ) a latinského Ioachim.
