Santago
Santago Origin and Meaning
Santago is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Santiago, which combines the Spanish elements "San" (Saint) and "Tiago" (James). This variation might have evolved through regional pronunciation differences or creative adaptation. The traditional Santiago honors St. James the Apostle and has deep significance in Spanish and Latin American cultures. Santago maintains the melodic quality and cultural resonance of the original while offering a slightly different spelling. Though less common than Santiago, Santago carries the same warm, rhythmic sound that makes Spanish names appealing worldwide. The name evokes connections to the famous pilgrimage route Camino de Santiago in Spain and represents strength and spiritual significance across Hispanic cultures.
