Morphology
Yakubian + influence
The noun 'influence' means 'capacity to affect' and 'Yakubian' functions as an adjectival/relational label meaning 'relating to Yakub' or 'of Yakubian culture', so the phrase compositionally denotes the influence exerted by Yakubian style/culture. While the proper-name element is low-frequency and may be unknown in itself, the X + influence pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would grasp the basic meaning.
Etymology
The phrase Yakubian influence may come from a well-known artist or culture called Yakub, whose bold shapes and ideas were copied by later artists. So Yakubian influence means the 'style' or 'effect' that those works left on other art.
