Santiago, (also San Iago, San Tiago, Santyago, Sant-Yago, San Thiago) is a Spanish name that derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (''Ya'akov'') via "Sant Iago", "Sant Yago", "Santo Iago", or "Santo Yago", first used to denote Saint James the Great, the brother of John the Apostle. It was also the tradition that Saint James (Santiago) had traveled to the Iberian Peninsula during his life and was buried there. The name is also complicated in Spanish in that Jaime and Jacobo are modern versions of James. Variants of Santiago include Iago (a common Galician language name), and Thiago or Tiago (a common Portuguese language name). The common name James has many forms in Iberia, including Xacobo or Xacobe (in Galician), Jaume, Xaume, Jaime, Jacobo, and Diego (in Spanish). Despite being a cognate, San Diego does not refer to Saint Jacob but to Saint Didacus of Alcalá. Santiago is also the patron saint of Spain, after whom many cities have been named in Spain itself and throughout its former empire, such as: * The city of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain is dedicated to St. James the Great. * Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador * Santiago de Cuba. * Santiago de Chile. * Santiago, Philippines * Santiago del Estero, Argentina. * Santiago de los Caballeros, Guatemala. * Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. "Santi" is the nickname for Santiago, although "Sandy" is frequently used in English-speaking countries. ==Buildings== * Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, former Nuevo Estadio Chamartín, current home stadium of Real Madrid. It is named after the famous president. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santiago (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
