Iakobos is the ancient Greek form, itself derived from the Hebrew name Ya'aqov. Ya'aqov likely meant "supplanter," possibly referring to seizing the heel. The shift from Ya'aqov to Iakobos involved typical sound changes between Hebrew and Greek. Iakobos then became Iacobus in Latin, a very common name throughout the Roman Empire. The Latin Iacobus evolved into various forms in different European languages. The name James entered English through the Old French form, James, itself derived from the Old Occitan Jacme. James was popularized in England after the Norman Conquest. It gained further prominence due to its association with two kings of Scotland and later England: James I and James VI of Scotland, who became James I of England. Common diminutives include Jim, Jimmy, and Jamie. The name spread globally with English colonization and remains a popular name in many countries.
