> Last question: IAKWBOS > > Why is this James, and not Jacob? It's one of the quirks of the etymology of the English name James. It seems most likely to have come from French as a derivation of the Latin form of the name JACOMUS. The confusing thing is that English has kept both names--James and Jacob. Perhaps the original English translators were trying to avoid confusion with the famous patriarch when they chose James.
