Santiago is one of the names an/or surnames by which Saint James is known in the Spanish-, Galician- and Portuguese-speaking world. It is a contracted form of "Sant Yago" ("Saint Jacob"), which was the shout of the Spanish during the reconquest (711-1492) in response to the Moorish shout "Ala". 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 is a modern version of James; and another varient is Diego, as in San Diego, as a doublet or variation: San Diego is one of the Hispanicized forms of James, originating from the name Santiago. It is original name of Didacus of Alcalá. One should note the name Didacus did exist as a big umbrella until Diego / Diago was "Latinized." For more information see Diego article: Diego is a Spanish male name, derived from the Hebrew Yaʿqob (Jacob), the name of Saint James the Great, via Sant Yago, re-analysed as Santiago and SanDiego. . The assimilation of the final "T" of Sant into the name, a process called sandhi, has also occurred in "Telmo", the Spanish and Portuguese name for Elmo.
