Séamas is the traditional Irish Gaelic form of James, a name with Hebrew origins meaning 'supplanter' or 'one who follows.' The distinctive accent over the 'e' indicates a pronunciation shift, making it roughly sound like 'SHAY-mus.' This name has deep roots in Irish culture and history, remaining popular particularly in families maintaining strong connections to Irish heritage. Séamas honors traditional Irish naming patterns while connecting to the widely recognized name James. Though less common outside Ireland and Irish diaspora communities, the name has seen occasional international use. The authentic Gaelic spelling with its accent mark preserves the name's cultural integrity, distinguishing it from the anglicized version Seamus, which is more widely used in English-speaking countries.
