Origin and meaning of Jacopo
Jacopo is the Italian variant — literary and Tuscan in flavour — of Giacomo, from the Hebrew Ya'aqov, 'supplanter', through the Latin Iacobus. It shares its origin and meaning with Giacomo but has an older, more elegant tone. It is a typically Italian men's name, much loved in Tuscany and today appreciated again across the peninsula; abroad it is almost unknown in this form.
