Did King James take the name of Jacob out of the bible and replaced it with his own?

This saying alludes to the fact that the AV Translators elected to call the Newer Testament epistle/letter of Iakobos [Gk.] / Yaakov [Hb.] / Jacob [Eng.] / James [Eng.] in honour of the king, because James and Jacob supposedly both stand for the originally Hebrew name.
I'm unaware of any English translation before the AV that ever called that Epistle 'James'.
In The Complete Jewish Bible, the epistle is again called Jacob, noting the Jewish tone and references, and that James is not a Jewish name.
