Diego m

1. A male given name

From Santiago, from Latin Sanctus Iacobus (“Saint James”), the latter word deriving from Ancient Greek Ἰάκωβος (Iákōbos), from Hebrew יַעֲקֹב‎ (ya‘ăqṓḇ, “Jacob”, literally “heel-grabber”), from עָקֵב‎ (‘āqḗḇ, “heel of the foot”).

The name Diego is sometimes alternatively (erroneously) thought to derive from the Latin name Didacus.

• IPA^(key): /ˈdjeɡo/, [ˈd̪jeɣo]

Diego m

1. A male given name, thought to be a diminutive of Santiago or, most likely, a contraction of the preposition "de" (of) + "Iago" (Galician for Jacob, which is pronounced "d'Iago").
