How do you say Jacob in Hawaiian?

There's no direct equivalent of "Jacob" in Hawaiian.

However, you could consider these options, which reflect the meaning or sound of "Jacob":

Based on meaning:

* Iakoba: This is the closest translation using the Hawaiian alphabet, based on the Hebrew origin "Ya'akov," meaning "supplanter" or "he who seizes by the heel." However, this is not a common name in Hawaiian culture.

Based on sound:

* Iakopa: A slightly more common pronunciation of "Iakoba," which might feel more comfortable to Hawaiian speakers.

* Ia-kopa: This emphasizes the two syllables of "Jacob," and could be a more familiar sound.

* Ka'iakopa: This adds the common Hawaiian prefix "Ka" for "the" or "of", making it sound more like a Hawaiian name.

Ultimately, the best option depends on your preference and the context. You could also consider using a Hawaiian name with similar meaning or sound.
