It makes more sense when you understand that they all com from Iacbous. Jacobo, Jaime and Santiago (all spanish names) are ultimatelly the same name and all are James/Jacob.

I don't know how Iacobus can become James or Jaime though.

Say Santiago without the saint part. Tiago > diago > diego.

Spanish has way worst diminutives, like Francisco = Curro or Paco.

>>53916838
All white people have only Greek and Jewish names. Because they are orthdox or catholics(which are the same in translation). Atheists is not a human beings at all. Even kebabs a men, but not white.
