Jamaica
Jamaica (; ) is an island country situated in the Caribbean Sea. Spanning in area, it is the third-largest island of the Greater Antilles and the Caribbean (after Cuba and Hispaniola). Jamaica lies about south of Cuba, and west of Hispaniola (the island containing the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic); the British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands lies some to the north-west. Originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno peoples, the island came under Spanish rule following the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494. Many of the indigenous people either were killed or died of diseases, after which the Spanish brought large numbers of African slaves to Jamaica as labourers. The island remained a possession of Spain until 1655, when England (later Great Britain) conquered it, renaming it ''Jamaica''. Under British colonial rule Jamaica became a leading sugar exporter, with a plantation economy dependent on the African slaves and later their des ...

Jeish Muhammad ( ar, جيش محمد الفاتح Jaish Muḥammad al-Fātiḥ, translation: ''Army of Muhammad the Conqueror''; JM) is an Iraqi Iraqi insurgency (Iraq War), militant group that is both politically and religiously motivated.

Jaysh Muhammad was initially believed to consist of fighters who had infiltrated Iraq from Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.

James (name)
James is an English language given name of Hebrew origin, most commonly used for males. Etymology It is a modern descendant, through Old French ''James'', of Vulgar Latin ''Iacomus'' (cf. Italian ''Giacomo (name), Giacomo'', Portuguese ''Tiago'', Spanish ''Santiago_(name), Iago, Santiago''), a derivative version of Latin ''Iacobus'', Latin form of the Hebrew language, Hebrew name Jacob (name), ''Jacob'' (original Hebrew: יעקב). The final ''-s'' in the English first names is typical of those borrowed from Old French, where it was the former masculine subject case (cf. Giles (other), Giles, Miles (name), Miles, Charles, etc.). James is a very popular name in English-speaking populations. Since in Spanish and its derivatives the J is pronounced (Kh), many Jews used this name for representing the Hebrew name of Haim, also written as Chaim (pronounced ) or its similar ...
