Santiago Accordion-Amigos Hearts Club Band

DIEGO
Possibly a shortened form of SANTIAGO. In medieval records Diego was Latinized as Didacus, and it has been suggested that it in fact derives from Greek d?da?? (didache) "teaching".

SANTIAGO
Means "Saint James", derived from Spanish santo "saint" combined with Yago, an old Spanish form of JAMES, the patron saint of Spain. Cities in Chile and Spain bear this name.

JAMES
English form of the Late Latin name Iacomus which was derived from ?a??ß?? (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov (see JACOB). Related names: SEAMUS, JAMIE, JACK

SEAMUS
"one who supplants" or "substitute". In the United States, the name "Shamus" is sometimes used as a slang word for private detective.

JAMIE
a name derived as a pet form of James

JACK
a male given name, although in very rare cases it can be used as a female given name, and sometimes as a surname. The name Jakke was so common in England that it came to be used
for addressing any male, originally especially one considered a social inferior, and was extended to designate any male person, male animals, and even a variety of inanimate objects, such as
the device named jack for lifting heavy loads.

According to the United States Census of 1990, "Jack" is an uncommon American given name, the given name for 0.315% of the male population and 0.001% of the female population.

In English it is the diminutive form of the name JOHN,though it is also often given as a proper name in its own right.

JOHN
Because the name Jonathan is sometimes abbreviated as Jon, John is sometimes falsely considered to be a short form of Jonathan, especially in the United States. John is a variation of the Hebrew name Yô?annan, whereas Jonathan derives from the Hebrew ???????? Yôna?an, which means "Gift from the Lord" and thus is a longer version of NATHAN.

Also a shortened version of the latin form JOHANNES.

JANE
the English form of the Old French name Jehanne, which was an old feminine form of the male name JOHANNES.

JOAN
an Old French feminine form of Johannes (see JOHN). This was the usual English feminine form of John in the Middle Ages, but it was surpassed in popularity by Jane in the 17th century.
