"Though it's spelled slightly differently, the masculine name Sandiago shares Santiago's origins and meaning. One of the most popular monikers in Mexico, Santiago's roots lie in the Spanish and Portuguese languages. Sandiago is simply a creative variant formed from the same elements. In Spanish, the word santo means ""saint."" When combined with Yago, a medieval form of James, Santiago and Sandiago translate to ""Saint James."" As one of Jesus' apostles and the patron saint of Spain, James is an important figure in Christianity. If you and your tiny tot call The Golden State of California home, you'll appreciate Sandiago's similarity to the place name San Diego."
