Hello All:

This has been quite interesting for me.

I've been researching on the island of (Western)Samoa
especially the forename "James" sometime now.

Seeing as how there is no letter "J" in the Samoan
language I'd never thought to find "James" another way

JAKOBUS

- till now.

"Thank You"

In Samoa Simi = Jimmy or James. Now my search has
expanded. (pronounced Simi = CEE-mee.)

I'd also forgotten Samoa was once German Samoa
(1900-1914).

Good topic and Good Hunting.
