Just found a Yaccabina/Yackabina - female forename - anyone any ideas of origin, can't seem to find another anywhere

Could it be a form of Jacobina, the female version of Jacob?

Not on mother's side, Claridge family from Hunningham, Warwickshire, all other family names very ordinary, must look into father's side, Southgate from Suffolk

It only occurred to me because I have a son called Jacob.

Me again  :) If they don't seem to be Jewish, is it possible they were Baptists? I have a branch who were and some of them have biblical names.

Her middle name was Ethel, sadly died aged 15, 'an imbecile from childhood' according to 1901 census
