Séamus Irish pronunciation: [ˈʃeɪməs] is a male first name of Celtic origin. It is the Gaelic equivalent of the name James. The name James is the English New Testament variant for the Hebrew name Jacob. It entered the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages from the French variation of the late Latin name for Jacob Iacomus; a dialect variant of Iacobus from the New Testament Greek Ἰάκωβος (Iákōvos) and ultimately from Hebrew word יעקב (Yaʻaqov) i.e. Jacob.
