Seumas (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈʃeːməs]) is a masculine given name in Scottish Gaelic and Scots,[1] equivalent to the English James.[2] The vocative case of the Scottish Gaelic Seumas is Sheumais, which has given form to the Anglicised form of this name, Hamish.[3] In Irish, Seumas is the older form of the modern Séamas. Another earlier form of Séamas is Séamus, which is partially Anglicised as Seamus.[4]
