How do you say James in Latin?

There isn't a direct, single equivalent of "James" in Latin. The name James comes from the Hebrew יעקב (Ya'akov), which means "he who supplants" or "may God protect." The Greek translation of the name, Ιάκωβος (Iakōbos), is where the English "James" comes from.

Therefore, Latin renderings would depend on the context and desired nuance. You might see:

* Jacobus: This is the most common and accepted Latin form of James.

* Jacobo: The vocative case (used for direct address, like "James!").

So, while there's no perfect equivalent, Jacobus is the closest and most widely used Latin form.
