When a name is a form of another name, it has the same meaning, so in this case Tiago means the same thing as Jacob, see this link:http://www.behindthename.com/name/jacob

Tiago is a derivation from latin name Santiago (from Sancti Jacob). In linguistic we call this process "aphéresis". In search of certain originality, many latin parents began to name their children with this name: Tiago. Regards.
