Seumas is a masculine given name in Irish, and Scottish Gaelic. The names are the equivalent of the English James. The Scottish Gaelic Seumas is pronounced /ʃeːməs/. The vocative case of the Scottish Gaelic Seumas is Sheumais, which has given form to the Anglicised form of this name, Hamish. In Irish, Seumas is the older form of the modern Séamas. This modern name is pronounced "shay-mus" in Irish. Another earlier form of Séamas is Séamus, which is partially Anglicised as Seamus.
