"Weiss Schnee" makes sense, for two reasons. One, the entire name literally means "white snow" in German, making both words allude to the same color as well as being part of the same phrase, and so having both in the same language is only logical. Second, if "Weiss" weren't in the language it is, her name would literally just be "White". Which is technically acceptable, but it's boring as hell.

There is no similar reason for Jacob to be made Latin, because Jacob doesn't allude to a color on its own, nor does it combine with his last name to mean anything special. It's just there.
