Yes, that's correct! Both James and Diego are indeed derived from the name Jacob.

James comes from the Latin name "Iacobus," which is derived from the Hebrew name "Ya'akov" (Jacob). Diego, on the other hand, is believed to be derived from "Jacobus" as well, though the etymology is a bit more complex, often linked to the Spanish name "Santiago," which means "Saint James." So, both names share a connection to the historical and biblical figure Jacob. It's interesting how names can have such interconnections!
