Santhiago

Santhiago Origin and Meaning

The name Santhiago is a boy's name.

Santhiago is a masculine name representing a distinctive variation of Santiago, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Ya'akov (Jacob) and means 'supplanter.' The name gained prominence through Saint James (Santiago in Spanish), one of Jesus's apostles who became the patron saint of Spain. The unique spelling with 'th' instead of 't' adds a contemporary twist while maintaining the name's cultural roots. Santhiago carries strong Hispanic and Portuguese influences while offering a slightly more uncommon alternative to the traditional spelling. The name evokes images of strength, faith, and cultural heritage, making it increasingly popular among parents seeking names with both cultural significance and modern appeal.
