Where this word comes from

Karelian form of Russian Яким (Jakim). The municipality was presumably originally named Jaakkimanvaara (with vaara (“(large, forested) hill”)). Folk etymology derives the name of the municipality from Jacob De la Gardie, but (a variant of) the name is already attested when he was just a child, making this anachronistic.
