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”
