Joachim
English
Etymology
Derived from Latin Iōāchīmus, from Ancient Greek Ἰωακείμ (Iōakeím), Ἰωακίμ (Iōakím) (2 Kings 24), from Biblical Hebrew יְהוֹיָקִים (yəhôyâqîm, literally “may Yahweh raise up”). The Septuagint in 2 Kings 24 mentions "Ιωακιμ" and his son "Ιωαχιμ" (יהויכין), but the latter does not seem to be the source of the name Joachim, as in the Vulgate it is "Ioachin", and in Greek the father of Mary is Ιωακειμ, not Ιωαχιμ.
