    Back-formation from Santiago (“Saint James”), reinterpreting it as São Tiago rather than Santo Iago by analogy to other saints such as São Mateus, São Marcos and São Paulo. Doublet of Iago, Jacó, and Jaime. Attested as early as 1681 in Almeida's Bible, although just in the name of the book — the Apostle was still called Jacobo in the body text.
