1 James To the Twelve Tribes

2 James “James” is translated from the Greek “Iakabos” (the Greek version of “Jacob”)

3 James So how did the Jewish name Ya’akov become so Gentilized as James? Since the 13th century, the form of the Latin name Iacomus began its use in English. In the 14th century, John Wycliffe made the first Bible translation into English and translated Iakobus as James. (However, in both the Old and New Testaments he arbitrarily used the name Jacob for the patriarch). In all future English translations the name stuck, especially after 1611, when King James I sponsored the translation then called the Authorized Version but since 1797 called the King James Bible. From James or Jacob in the Bible? Giving Jacob his due Mark Wilson   •  04/27/2017 BiblicalArchaeology.org
