جاكوب
Jacob is written «جاكوب» in Arabic letters. That is how Arabic Wikipedia writes Jacob Zuma («جاكوب زوما») and Jacob Collier («جاكوب كولير») — the spelling Arabic readers already know for the name, not one we made up.

Letter by letter
Arabic writes the long vowels and the consonants; most short vowels are not written, and a letter English does not sound is dropped.
| Latin | Arabic | Why |
|---|---|---|
| J | ج | jim (ج) stands for the J sound |
| a | ا | the a is written with alif (ا) |
| c | ك | c sounds k here, so kaf (ك) |
| o | و | the o is written with waw (و) |
| b | ب | ba (ب) for b |
