purely theological terms such as nestorian, "jacobite" and chaldean catholic referred only to specific groups. "nestorian" emerged after the nestorian schism that followed the first council of ephesus in 431 ad, "jacobite" after the council of chalcedon in 451 ad, and "chaldean catholic" only in the late 18th century ad, subsequent to groups in northern iraq breaking from the church of the east. these three terms are solely denominational, and not ethnic in any sense, and were applied to syriac christians by europeans.
