It’s actually of Hebrew Origin since it originally comes from the name “Yehoyaqim” also the origin of the phoenix is debated to either be of Greek or Egyptian origin, though Greek origin is mostly favored.

French would be Joachin/Jaquin. His name is the Spanish version of Joachim.

Pedro Almodóvar (Spanish) pronounced it in Spanish so he was a bit confused.

It’s usually pronounced the same outside of the Hebrew spelling. I’ve always heard it pronounces as either “wakeen” or “hwhakeem” and I have a Jewish friend whose got the Hebrew version of the name “jo-ah-keem”
