This was my grandfather's middle name. It's the Yiddish form of Jacob. He was born in a small town in Poland called Mazoweicka I believe.
I think it is a Polish-Yiddish name
Maybe a form of Jakob/Jakov. As in Jakov Sverdlov (Jankel-Aaron Movsjevitj Solomon), a historical (not so nice) person in Russia.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

My name is Rebecca and I have the last name of Peck which is Irish but I would like to know what the name Peck means so I can do my family tree.

Peck (1) English
Means "dweller by the peak". See Peak.
Peck (2) English
Means "maker of pecks, or vessels used as peck measures" from the Middle English pekke.
