Possibly a short form of SANTIAGO, but it is more likely derived from the medieval name Didacus which meant "teaching" from Greek διδαχη (didache). Saint Didacus (or Diego) was a 15th-century Franciscan brother based in Alcalá, Spain. Another famous bearer of this name was Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (1886-1957). |
