Diego is Spanish for James. There is a little controversy about the origin, but James is is. The book of The Bible known as James is Santiago (simply Saint James), which has become a Spanish name in itself. So technically, the cities Santiago, Chile, and San Diego, California, have the same name, meaning (St. James), though San Diego is named after Franciscan priest Diego de Alcala, according to Wiki.

Derived from the word Didacus; Meaning being strong spirited and charismatic.

Diego means James in Spanish.
