About the name Jacques-Marie
Jacques is the French form of James, derived from the Late Latin Iacomus, which comes from the Hebrew name Jacob (Yaakov), meaning "heel-grabber" or "supplanter"; Marie is the French form of Mary, from the Latin Maria, ultimately from Hebrew Miriam, whose etymology is disputed but possibly means "of the sea" or "beloved."
This combination is predominantly used in French Catholic culture, particularly common among French-speaking populations in France, Quebec, and other Francophone regions; the hyphenated format became especially popular in France during the 19th and 20th centuries as a way to honor both religious traditions (Jacob/James and Mary being biblical figures central to Christian tradition).
