Joiakim 
There's only one man named Joiakim in the Bible, but his name is one of two contracted forms of the name Jehoiakim. The other one is Jokim.
Joiakim is the son of Jeshua the high priest during the time of the return from exile (Nehemiah 12:10, 26).
The name Joiakim consists of two parts:
1) The name  , Jah, which in turn is an abbreviated form of the name of the Lord  , YHWH, or Yahweh.
As shown in Mark 5:41, this verb also exists in Aramaic. Jesus uses it when He raises Jairus' daughter from the dead by saying, "talitha kum".
For a meaning of the name Joiakim, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Yahweh Raises Up and BDB Theological Dictionary offers the similar Yah Raiseth Up.
Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes The Lord Will Set Up.
Other names that contain the verb qum are
Adonikam,
Ahikam,
Azrikam,
Adonikam,
Jakim,
Jekameam,
Jekamiah,
Jokmeam,
Kamon,
Kemuel and
Koa, and perhaps Achim.
