Where the name Thiago comes from

Thiago is a spelling of the Portuguese Tiago, which comes from Santiago, “Saint James”, itself a fusion of Sant Iago.

Iago is the Spanish form of Jacob, from the Hebrew Yaakov, which is traditionally glossed as “one who follows at the heel”. Saint James, the apostle whose shrine at Santiago de Compostela drew medieval pilgrims, made the name familiar across the Iberian Peninsula, and Brazil carried it overseas.
