==Toponym==
''Santiago'' is the local Galician evolution of Vulgar Latin ''Sanctus Iacobus'' "Saint James". According to legend, ''Compostela'' derives from the Latin ''Campus Stellae'' (i.e., "field of the star"); it seems unlikely, however, that this phrase could have yielded the modern ''Compostela'' under normal evolution from Latin to Medieval Galician. Other etymologies derive the name from Latin ''compositum'', local Vulgar Latin ''Composita Tella'', meaning "burial ground", or simply from Latin ''compositellam'', meaning "the well-composed one". Other sites in Galicia share this toponym, akin to ''Compostilla'' in the province of León.
