雅各, yă gè, Mandarin Chinese.
ヤコブ, yakobu, "Yaakov" (the Biblical Jacob); ジェイッコブ, Jeikkobu, a transliteration of the English "Jacob", Japanese.
ᏤᎦᏈ, Jegoqui, from the English & from the Bible, Cherokee.
ያዕቆብ, Ya'iqob, Amharic & Ge'ez (the liturgical Biblical language of Ethiopia among Jews and Christians).
Յակոբ, Yakob, Armenian
Иаков, Yakov, Russian
იაკობ, Iakob, Georgian
जेकोब, Jekob, Hindi

Note that the modern English pronunciation of "Jacob" can be reflected in Hebrew, Arabic, and Amharic by spelling them as ג'יקוב, جيكوب, or ጄኮብ, respectively. The other versions you've used refer to the character in the Bible.
