It's Spanish for "Saint"... San Diego would be "Saint Diego."
"San" is spanish for "Saint", Diego is a variation of Iago which is the latin verison of the Hebrew name James. So San Diego means "Saint James"
San Diego is the name of a person, Saint Diego. San Diego began as a mission, meaning a church in which Native Americans were forced to work. It was named after a saint, as most churches were.
Wrong!! The city was named after Saint Didacus of Alcalá. Don't know where you would get James from Diego!! LOL. James in Spanish is Jaime, SAN is just Saint in Spanish, like most of the major cities en California, and parts of Baja, its because the misionaries put the names of one saint to each of the mision [church] they pùt in the place.
The name of San Diego remains the same in German, so does it's meaning.
it means a whale's vigina
'San' means 'holy [one]' or 'saint.' 'Diego' is a form of the proper name, 'James.' 'San Diego' means 'Saint James.'
