ArchivesHiob
My GGGGrandfather was born in Gochsen, Germany 1787 and was named Johann Hiob Rapp (pronounced Heeob as in bee). Is this a German or French name and do you know what it means or what it would be in English.
Thanks so much.

I am looking for the family sheild colors (I am not sure what it is called exactly), for the last name of Panek. My best friend is buying a new house and I would like to make something using their family colors.
I hope you can help or maybe give me a website that I might be able to get this from without buying any kind of a membership.
Thank you.

Hi Sue,
Hiob is a Hebrew name. I found some different meanings:
1. "where is the Father"
2. "persecuted"
3. "assailant"
(I'm not sure which one is the best translation because I don't speak Hebrew... maybe someone else here can help?)
The form "Hiob" (pronounced HEEob) was used by Martin Luther in his bible translation. In the Vulgata (the Latin bible translation) the name was written "Job" (pronounced YOB), and the oecumenical form is "Ijob" (pronounced EEyob).
In English they took over the Latin version Job - just in spelling, not the pronunciation as usual... ;)
Regards, Satu

Given the three meanings, I'm surprised that this name hasn't caught on in certain segments of US society... ;o))

All I can help you out with is Johann is the German form of John.
