This is just a guess, but you may be referring to a man's first/middle name you might have heard,

"Chaim Yankel". This would be a Yiddish name.

The first name, pronounced "KHAH-yim", is the familiar Hebrew word for "life", which has always

been a popular name given to male babies.

The name pronounced "YAHN-kle" is a corruption of the diminuitive form of "YAH-ah-kov",

which is simply the Hebrew for 'Jacob'.
