Are you sure is Jacob and not Jakob ?--Valérie75 10:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- This name was usually written "Jacob" in Swedish until the late 1800s and early 1900s, when (at a time when various other spelling reforms) the spelling with K became more common, as it was perceived as more phonetic, and hence more modern. Swedish encyclopedias sometimes modernise names like this one, regardless of the original spelling. Nevertheless, many people still spell the name with a C, and for somebody who was born in the early 19th century, it is almost certain that he did. u can kiiss my ass !!!n suk iit biitch
- In short: yes, without evidence to the contrary, "Jacob" is most likely correct and in accordance with how he himself wrote his name, but if you want to spell it with a K, it is no big deal and really makes little difference. u p p l a n d 11:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
