James
English and Scottish form of the name borne in the New Testament by twoof Christ's disciples, James son of Zebedee and James son of Alphaeus.This form comes from Late Latin Iacomus, a variant of Iacobus, Latin formof the New Testament Greek name Iakobos. This is the same name as OldTestament Jacob (Hebrew Yaakov). For many centuries now it has beenthought of in the English-speaking world and elsewhere as a distinctname, but in some other cultures, e.g. French, no distinction is made.
In Britain, James is a royal name that from the beginning of the 15thcentury onwards has been associated particularly with the Scottish houseof Stewart: James I of Scotland (1394-1437; ruled 1424-37) was a patronof the arts and a noted poet, as well as an energetic monarch. King JamesVI of Scotland (1566-1625; reigned 1567-1625) succeeded to the throne ofEngland in 1603. His grandson, James II of England (1633-1701; reigned1685-8) was a Roman Catholic, deposed in 1688 in favour of his Protestantdaughter Mary and her husband William of Orange. From then on he, his son(also called James), and his grandson Charles ("Bonnie Prince Charlie")made various unsuccessful attempts to recover the English throne. Theirsupporters were known as Jacobites (from Jacobus, Latin form of James),and the name James became for a while particularly associated with RomanCatholicism on the one hand, and Highland opposition to the Englishgovernment on the other. It is now widely used by people of manydifferent creeds and nationalities. Cognates: French: Jacques. Italian:Giacomo. Spanish: Jaime. Catalan: Jaume. Galician: Xaime.

Andrew
English form of the Greek name Andreas, short form of any of variouscompound names with the first element andr- man or, in particular,warrior. In the New Testament, this is the name of the first disciple tobe called by Jesus. After the Resurrection, St Andrew preached in AsiaMinor and Greece, and was probably crucified at Patras in Achaia. He wasone of the most popular saints of the Middle Ages and was adopted as thepatron of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. The name has long been popular inScotland (in the Lowlands traditionally in the form Andra); itspopularity in England has been enhanced by its use as a British royalname for Prince Andrew (b. 1960), the Duke of York.

Frank
English: Of Germanic origin. The name referred originally to a member ofthe tribe of the Franks, who are said to have got the name from acharacteristic type of spear that they used (as the Saxons did from acharacteristic knife). When the Franks migrated into Gaul in the 4thcentury, the country received its modern name of France (Late LatinFrancia) and the tribal term Frank came to mean "Frenchman". Now quiteoften taken, especially in America, as a short form of Francis.Anglicized form of the Italian name Franco. The popularity of Frank as agiven name was greatly enhanced, especially among Italian Americans, bythe fame of the singer Frank Sinatra (b. 1915).

Francesco
Italian: originally a vocabulary word meaning "French" or "Frenchman"(Late Latin Franciscus; cf. Frank). This was a nickname given to StFrancis of Assisi (1181-1226) because of his wealthy father's businessconnections in France. His baptismal name was Giovanni. He had apleasant, ordinary life as a child and young man, but after two seriousillnesses, a period of military service, and a year as a prisoner of warin Perugia, he turned from the world and devoted himself to caring forthe poor and the sick. He was joined by groups of disciples, callingthemselves "minor friars" (friari minores). The main features of theFranciscan rule are humility, poverty, and love for all living creatures.In his honour the various vernacular forms of Francesco came to becommonly used as given names from the 13th century onwards in France,Spain, and elsewhere as well as Italy.
