If you call it JAM instead of James, you expect people to realise you aren't talking about why your group split in two because the pastor served strawberry jam instead of plum jam?

I guess it is too much to expect Catholics to have bible literacy

The KJV calls it JAS. Or is your group a sola non-KJVa scriptura?

Furthermore, it's also JAK (Sw. Jakuba),IAC (Iacob),JAkobsbrevet, யாக்கோபு and JAcques?

Did you not see geologist post above about James’s abbreviation being Jas., not Jam.? Nice trying to conflate a confusion about abbreviations into making a slam about Catholics’ apparent lack of biblical literacy- very charitable.
