Jacobite is just from James . Why Jacobus is Latin for James I know not.
Hebrides in original Greek was something like "Ebudae" so I doubt that there is any connection with "Hebrew".

Alan,
Also Benzie, is short in Yiddish/Hebrew for Benzion. Ben (son of ), Zie (Zion) so it is Son of Zion.....
I have never heard of Benzie being short for Benjamin in Yiddish/Hebrew
LOCH SLOY!
Cheers, Wil
