Jacques is the French equivalent of James.
Jacques is derived from the Late Latin Iacobus, from the Greek Template:Polytonic (Septuagintal Greek Template:Polytonic), from the Hebrew Template:Rtl-lang. (See Jacob.) James is derived from Iacomus, a variant of Iacobus.
As a first name, Jacques is often phonetically converted to English as Jacob, Jake (from Jacob), or Jack, but the last is not an accurate translation. (Jack, from Jankin, is strictly a diminutive of John.)
