Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza cez grécke Iōakeím a latinské Ioachim z hebrejského mena Jəhójākím. Jeho význam sa vykladá ako „Jahve pozdvihne“ alebo „Jahve upevní“. Tvorí ho teoforický prvok Jəhó-, odkazujúci na Božie meno Jahve, a slovesný základ qúm vo význame „vstať“, „postaviť“ či „upevniť“. Podľa kresťanskej tradície sa tak volal manžel svätej Anny a otec Panny Márie.
