The name James can be translated more than 1 way in Samoan. In Bible translations, the Book of James is translated as Iakopo, or Jacob, since there is no "Official" equivalent name for the name James. Jim or Jimmy, both nicknames for James, are translated as Simi or Semi, sometimes Semisi which is more commonly used in Tonga. Some say that by using common translation models in the language, Iamesa could be a translation for James, this is however not an accepted practice.
