Hamish is an English and Scottish masculine given name, an Anglicized form of the vocative case of the Gaelic name Sheumais, itself the vocative of Seumas. The name traces its roots through English James to Middle English Iames, Old French James, Vulgar Latin Iacomus, Latin Iacobus, Ancient Greek Ἰάκωβος (Iákōbos), and ultimately Hebrew יַעֲקֹב (Yaʿăqōḇ), meaning "supplanter", "to supersede", or "heel-grabber." It is thus a doublet of James.
