I believe it is Iakobos (Google for Iakobos and you'll find it means "he supplanted" or "held by the heel" or similar, which is the same for James).

In Greek (as opposed to Roman) lettering I believe it is Ιακωβος with the first 'o' as omega, although some people have it down as Ιακοβος (the first 'o' as omicron). If you Google the Greek spellings Ιακοβος has 147 hits, and Ιακωβος has 200,000 hits, including one (http://www.masteranylanguage.com/cgi/f/lView.pl?li=AS41&pc=MALGreek&tc=Media) with the equivalent Greek song to Frère Jacques.

Answer:

I might be wrong but i think that...

Iakobos/Iacovos is Jacob not James... James is Demetrios....

Frere Jacques means Brother John in French....
