Saniago Origin and Meaning

The name Saniago is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Saniago appears to be a variant spelling of Santiago, a masculine name with Spanish origins. Santiago traditionally comes from the Spanish form of Saint James (Sant Iago), one of Jesus's apostles and the patron saint of Spain. The variant spelling Saniago might result from regional pronunciation differences or spelling adaptations in different cultures. While Santiago ranks among popular Spanish names, Saniago remains extremely rare. Parents might choose this spelling variation to create a unique twist on the traditional name while maintaining its Spanish heritage and religious connections. The name carries the same strong historical significance as Santiago, associated with the famous pilgrimage route Camino de Santiago.
