Seamus

/ˈʃeɪməs/ noun

Definition

An Irish male given name, the Irish form of James.

Etymology

From Irish 'Séamus,' which is the Irish version of the name James, derived from Hebrew 'Ya'akov' (Jacob). The name has been popular in Ireland for centuries.

Kelly Says

Seamus is a quintessentially Irish name, but it's actually just the Irish version of 'James'—every culture transforms names in their own language, so you get James, Jacques, Juan, and Seamus all from the same root!
