Séamas (m.) Irish Gaelic: modern form of JAMES. Earlier Gaelic spellings are Séamus, Seumus and Seumas.

(Patrick Hanks/Flavia Hodges: A Dictionary of First Names)



Shem is as short for Shemus as Jem is joky for Jacob.

(James Joyce: Finnegans Wake, 169.001 — the first sentence of the Shem the Penman chapter, Joyce's final self-portrait)
