Joaquin Pronunciation
What Joaquin means
Where Joaquin comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Joaquin traces back to the Hebrew Yehoyaqim, a name assembled to mean "God will establish." Spanish spells it Joaquín, with the stress on that last syllable. Polish renders the sense as bóg wywyższy.
Christian tradition hands the name to San Joaquín, the father of Mary and grandfather of Jesus by the old accounts. His feast, kept on 26 July, carried Joaquín across Spain and then Latin America, where boys have answered to it for many generations.
On a Polish class register the name still reads as a visitor, seated among the Jakubs as a Spanish arrival. It keeps no diminutive of its own. What it keeps instead is the old Hebrew grammar of a verb, God who will establish.
