Greek Iakóbos to Latin Iacobus to Jakobus to late latin Jacomus to early French Jammes to english James vs a more direct Yaaqob to Jacob or via Jakobus to Jacob This also explains why the short form of James is Jim, via french Jaime And how Jack and James and Jim and Jacob and Seamus and Thiego and Diego and Jaime and Giacomo, Iacopo and Hamish are all related.

The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
A fixture in the city of lust
