My husband doesn't like this name at all unfortunately, he says it sounds like a Disney villain's name, and that it reminds him too much of the parrot's name from Aladdin haha, oh well (I still like it).

This might be my favorite name for a boy, it's very handsome and adventurous feeling. It's likely most people in America will mispronounce it but it's too gorgeous a name for me to care, Tiago is wonderful and after my husband's family name Iglesias was anglicized to 'English' when his grandpa came to the states we like the idea of using a Portuguese or Spanish language name for a son.

This is possibly one of the few Portuguese masculine names I like, if your name is Tiago and you're going to present yourself to English speakers, I think "Jim" it's a great nickname. I dislike the Brazilian spelling "Thiago" tho.

Tiago is more used in Portugal and Thiago in Brazil. They are all cognates of my name after all. The original version in the bible is always Yaacov (Jacob/James).

Pronounced tee-A-goo ([tiˈaɣu] in IPA) in European Portuguese. In Brazil the pronunciation is chee-A-goo ([tʃiˈaɡu]) however there the more common spelling is Thiago.

The name is more actually a Portuguese form of James / Jacob. Saint James was originally called 'Santo Iago', which became 'Sant'Iago (Santiago)' and finally 'São Tiago'. [noted -ed]
The name was always rare in Portugal but was revived in the 1970's or so and it exploded in popularity. Nowadays it's probably one of the most common names among young Portuguese man. It's also popular in Brazil, where it is often (and erroneously) spelt 'Thiago'.

This is my favorite Portuguese boy's name. And all the Tiagos I've met so far are kind, very funny and handsome.

Tiago in Latin Jacobus also means the one who works the stones. Biblically it is assumed that Jacobus was blood related to Jesus.

I've heard somewhere that Tiago's meaning (the same as the other variants, like Thiago, Thyago, Tyago, Thiaggo, and many others) is "the one who helps the others", "the strongest one", "the one who progresses", "the one that makes improvements", "the one who wins". And like the other variants in other languages (for example James) Tiago (and all variants) gets the meaning of "God's Heel", "God's Warrior", "God's Left-Hand", "God's Creativity".
