James came into the English language from the Old French variation ''James'' of the late Latin name ''Iacomus''. This was a dialect variant of ''Iacobus'', from the New Testament Greek (unicode:Ἰάκωβος) (Iákōbos), from Hebrew יעקב ((unicode:Yaʻaqov)) (Jacob). The development ''Iacobus'' > ''Iacomus'' is likely a result of nasalization of the ''o'' and assimilation to the following ''b'' (i.e., intermediate *''Iacombus'') followed by simplification of the cluster ''mb'' through loss of the ''b''. Diminutives include: Jim, Jimmy, Jimmie, Jamie, Jimbo and others. ==Cognates== *Afrikaans: Jakobus, Koos (diminutive), Kobus (diminutive), Jakko (diminutive) *Albanian: Jakup, Jakub, Jakob or Jakov *Alemannic: Köbi, Chöbi, Jockel, Jakobli (diminutive), Jockeli (diminutive), Joggi *Amharic: ያዕቆብ (Ya‘əqob) *Arabic: يعقوب () *Armenian: Յակոբ in classical orthography and Հակոբ in reformed orthography (Western: Hagop, Eastern: Hakob) *Asturian: Diegu, Xacobu, Xaime *Azerbaijani: Yaqub *Basque: Jakue, Jakob, Jakobe, Jagoba, Jaime, Jakes; Jakoba, Jagobe (feminized); Jago (diminutive) *Belarusian: Jakub, Якуб (Yakub), Jakaŭ, Якаў (Yakaw) *Biblical Hebrew: Yaakov *Bosnian: Jakub *Breton: Jagu, Jagut, Jacut, Jak, Jakes, Jakez, Jakezig, Jakou *Bulgarian: Яков (Yakov) *Catalan: Jaume, Xaume, Jacme, Jacob, Dídac, Santiago *Cornish: Jago, Jammes, Jamma *Croatian: Jakov, Jakob, Jakša *Czech: Jakub, Jakoubek (diminutive), Kuba (diminutive), Kubík (diminutive), Kubíček (diminutive), Kubas (informal, uncommon), Kubes (informal, uncommon), Kubis (informal, uncommon), Kubi (informal, uncommon) *Danish: Jakob, Jeppe, Ib. *Dutch: Jacob, Jacobus, Jakob, Cobus, Coos, Jaap, Kobe, Kobus, Koos, Sjaak, Sjakie *English: * * Jacob * * Jakob (uncommon, by way of German, Yiddish, etc.) * * Jacoby (rare, chiefly American, and originally a surname) * * Jake, Jakey (diminutive) * * Jack, Jacky, Jackie (diminutive, chiefly British) * * Coby/Koby (diminutive, uncommon, chiefly American) * * Jamie (diminutive, found in all primarily English-speaking lands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, United States, etc.) * * Jaime/Jaimie (diminutive, uncommon, chiefly American, and by way of Spanish) * * Jim * * Jimmy/Jimmi/Jimi (diminutive) * * Jimbo (diminutive) * * Jambo * * Jay * * Jamesy * * Jem (diminutive, also taken as a diminutive for Jeremiah, Jeremy or Jemma) * * Jacqueline/Jaqueline (feminized, by way of French) * * Jacqui/Jaqui (feminized diminutive), Jackie (feminized diminutive, chiefly American), Jacki (feminized diminutive) * * Jamie/Jamey/Jami (feminized). *Estonian: Jakob, Jaakob, Jaagup, Jaak *Faroese: Jákup, Jakku (only in double names such as Jóan Jakku, Hans Jakku.
