Some studies claim that the Spanish name Diego has a Hebrew and that comes from the name Yacob. From there, it is said that the name Diego comes from Santiago, Tiago, and Jacobo, among others. Thus, the meaning of Diego would be "he who fights with God." However, there is another theory that the name Diego derives from the Greek Διδάχος ("didactic", which means "teacher"), a term that also gave rise to the Catalan variant Didac.

My son's name is Diego. We really like it. It'sounds the'same in English or Spanish and is spelled the way It'sounds.
Diego is my sonıs name and we just love it! We are a latin-american family and the name is just perfect because its writing and pronunciation is easy in English and Spanish. I think the name is very classic and masculine.
I love the name but agree i did no someone not spanish with this name and it just did not fit my opion not meaning to be rude or insenstive or anything but he kinda reminded me of a charlie and not a Diego not to sure why but he just did!!
Love the name but to be honest, unless your child is spanish, it sounds too pet-name. Only some males can pull it off..
My husband picked out this name I hated it at first. Then my little boy was born and it was perfect! Most women I'met and stop me for his beauty and said his name fit cause It'sounds so romantic. My little boy is defin'tly a heart breaker!
I would never ever call my child diego the name makes me feel sick, i work with a chef called diego and he is one of the most rude people ever. never ever ever'say this name to me again because it makes me very ANGRY. shut up now.
This is our son's name and we love it! We've gotten a very good response from othe's and he likes his name a lot, too. We have only met a couple other Jamesons!
The best way to spell it is "calvin" Our son is named this. he is 4. people associate it with Calvin and Hobbes or Calvin Coolidge. We know people who have named their kids Calvin becuase they liked our's so much. But other than'those people we have yet to meet someone with the'same name. n't very popular.
