agree  Refugio: Especially in the United States, it is important to leave the name as it is. Too many generations were forced (at Ellis Island or in schools) to "translate" their names to English equivalents.

Explanation:
On second thought, without any context, I imagined you might want to say what Joaquin is in English.

Joachim / Joaquin / Joaquine


Explanation:
Those are the equivalents I found in Google for (San)Joaquin. I also found it's an old Hebrew name meaning "God Judges".

(And I agree that you should not be translating names, unless they are historical names like Christopher Columbus/Cristobal Colon/ Cristoforo Colombo.)

Joaquin


Explanation:
is derived from Joachim:

JOACHIM m English, French, German, Polish, Biblical
Means "established by YAHWEH" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament Joachim is a king of Judah. In the apocryphal Gospel of James, Saint Joachim was the husband of Saint Anne and the father of the Virgin Mary.

Joaquín


Explanation:
Since it is a name, it SHOULD stay the same. However, my great uncle's name was Joaquín and people called him "Jack". Much like "Guillermo" is "William", Gerardo is "Gerard" and "Rosa" is "Rose". Joaquín would be the equivalent of Jack. Is this what you were looking for?

Jack


Explanation:
Believe it or not, the equivalent is Jack.....just plain old Jack.....and while, yes, I agree with my colleagues, names should be left the same.....if the asker wants to know the equivalent, then we should give it to his/her anonymous ass......
