Etymology
In summary
A Spanish form of Jacob, from Old Spanish Jayme, from Late Latin Iacomus, dialectal variant of Iacobus, from Ancient Greek Ἰάκωβος (Iákōbos), from Ἰακώβ (Iakṓb), from Biblical Hebrew יַעֲקֹב (Yaʿăqōḇ) (Jacob). Cf. French James, Catalan Jaume, Occitan Jacme. The name Iacobus also gave in Spanish Yago and Santiago (Saint James), from Latin Sanctus (“holy, saint”) Iacobus (“James”). The claimed relationship to the name Diego is a folk etymology of Santiago.
