> Hi Gail,

Joachim seems familiar to me. I have done some extensive Bible studies and I
think I have either seen it there (Old Testament ?) or heard it through my
daughter. She married in the Jewish faith. You might check for clues along
those lines. It could be an Jewish form of more commonly known Christian
(Latin) names. Possibly it is the same as Joseph.
Good hunting. Hope this helps,  Tricia M.
