Military and colonial career He was transferred to Senegal in 1899 to lead the expansion of colonial rule north of the Senegal river, where Moorish tribes held firm against French rule.

	Jacques Camille Marie Rogué Ancient and noble French family names, Jacques, Jacq, or James are believed to originate from the Middle Ages in the historic northwest Brittany region in France, and have since spread around the world over the centuries. To date, there are over one hundred identified noble families related to the surname by the Nobility & Gentry of Great Britain & Ireland.

Jacobus comes from the Hebrew name, Yaakov, which translates as "one who follows" or "to follow after".

James the Greater was one of Jesus' Twelve Apostles, and is believed to be the first martyred apostle.

It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England.
