The Latin name that related to the English name James was Iacobus.

The origin of the name is the Hebrew: Jacob, it then went through different variations before becoming Iacobus in Latin. Then the Latin changed to Iacomus. And through many more variations it became James in English.

If you are interested in the Latino or Spanish equivalent name for James, it is Jaime in Spanish and Portugese, which also have their origins in the Hebrew Jacob.

In Italy, where the Latin language originated, the current day Italian name for James has evolved from Iacobus, to Iacopo, to Jacopo, and the one used more often today: Giacomo.
