The name Jago is etymologically related to James, the name of two of Christ's disciples, via the late 12th century, Middle English vernacular form of the Vulgar Latin Jacomus, altered in turn from the high Latin Jacobus (Jacob). Whilst the Welsh form of James was Iago, in another Celtic language, Cornish, James becomes Jago.
Since then, Jago has been mostly used as a surname, though it occasionally still acts as a surname or abbreviation.
