Shamus

Shamus is a boy’s name of Irish origin. Derived from the English and Hebrew title James, this rather traditional name means “supplanter” or “holder of the heel.” Other spellings of Shamus might be more familiar to you, such as Séamus or Séamas, but this phonetic iteration will keep people from mispronouncing baby’s name. For the little one who has supplanted all others in your heart, Shamus is the perfect choice.
