Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Jáchym je stredoeurópska podoba mena Joachim, ktoré pochádza z hebrejského mena Jəhójákím. Toto meno vzniklo spojením skrátenej podoby Božieho mena Jahve a slovesného koreňa q-w-m s významom „vstať“, „pozdvihnúť“ alebo „upevniť“. Celé meno sa preto vykladá ako „Jahve pozdvihne“ alebo „Jahve upevní“. Do európskych jazykov sa rozšírilo prostredníctvom gréčtiny a latinčiny.
