perhaps:
The word as it is is unknown to me. Some context would be helpful. I don't know such a name, either. It could be the Ashkenaz pronounciation of "yakum", which means as much as "rise" (a man from his seat), or "please rise", perhaps in the context of prayer.

: agree, the English word "yokum" means "an undereducated person from a rural area" (to put it politely).
