EN: James (a nickname)
The go-to nickname for any Santiago. If you meet a Filipino named Santiago, there's a 90% chance everyone calls him Tiago. He's either the protagonist in a teleserye running from his past, or that friendly kuya in your barangay who's good at basketball. Think Kapitan Tiago from Noli Me Tángere, but the modern version probably has a vlog.
A diminutive of the Spanish name 'Santiago' (Saint James).
A very common male nickname in the Philippines.
🇵🇭 Si Tiago raw ang nanalo sa patimpalak sa pagkanta.
🇺🇸 They said Tiago won the singing contest.
