5.) JAMES (Male)
Usage: Biblical
Meanings: Variant form of Jacob (seizing by the heel, supplanting). James was the elder brother of John, both of whom were among the Twelve Apostles. Many believe that his mother (Salome) and Mary were sisters, making James a cousin of Jesus. He was beheaded by Herod Agrippa, making him the first martyr among the apostles. The name was also borne by a brother of Jesus who actively opposed Christ’s ministry. After Jesus’ death, however, he played a leading role in the affairs of the early church and was known as a devout man. Jewish historian Josephus says he was martyred in A.D. 62 by the high priest.

6.) JAMES (Male)
Usage: English
Meanings: From the Ecclesiastic Late Latin lacomus, an evolution of lacobus, which is derived from the Greek Iakobos. Iakobos is from the Hebrew Yaakov, which is from ya'aqob (supplanting, seizing by the heel). James is a cognate of Jacob, though in most English-speaking countries it is regarded as a separate name. The name is borne in the Bible by the brother of Jesus. In Britain, James is a royal name, being borne by rulers of both England and Scotland. Short: Jim. Pet: Jimmy. (JAYMZ)
7.) JAMES (Male)
Usage: Irish
Meanings: A popular name in Ireland, James is from the Ecclesiastic Late Latin lacomus, an evolution of the Greek lakobos, which is from the Hebrew Yaakov. This name has its root in ya‘aqob (supplanting, seizing by the heel). Some say Iacomus arises from an error in the transcription of manuscripts from the Greek to the Latin by an early monk. Seamus is the equally popular Gaelic form. See SEAMUS. Pet: Jamie. (JAYMZ)
8.) JAMES (Male)
Usage: Scottish
Meanings: From the Ecclesiastic Late Latin Iacomus, an evolution of Iacobus, which is ultimately from the Hebrew Yaakov (seizing by the heel, supplanting). See JACOB. The name, which is borne in the Bible by a brother of Jesus, has long been in use in Scotland and is, in particular, associated with the royal House of Stuart. James I (1394-1437) enthusiastically ruled Scotland from 1424 to 1437. James VI (1566-1625), the son of Mary Stuart, became king in 1567 and succeeded to the English throne in 1603 as James I and henceforth ruled Scotland, England, and Ireland. His grandson James II (1633-1701), a Roman Catholic, ruled from 1685 until 1688, when he was deposed in favor of his Protestant daughter, Mary. The name then became a national symbol of Catholicism and Highland opposition to the English throne. Seamus is the Gaelic form. Pet: Jamie, Jimmie, Jimmy. (JAYMZ)
