Meaning: Santiago means 'Saint James'.

Santina is a charming and modern feminine given name with Italian origins. Santina is derived from the Latin word 'sanctus,' meaning saint or holy, and is a feminine form of Santo. Santina has not gained popularity in recent years; rather, it has seen a decline in its ranking and popularity since its peak in 1980. Santina is pronounced as ‘san-TEE-nah’ and offers a fresh, contemporary vibe. The use of this name has changed over time, transitioning from a traditional Italian name to a global choice for parents seeking a name that is both elegant and modern. Santina is a relatively less common name but has been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States.
