English
Etymology
From Spanish Santiago , ellision of earlier Sant ' Iago and Sant Iago , from Latin Sanctus Iācōbus ( “ Saint James or holy James ” ) , the latter word deriving from Ancient Greek Ἰάκωβος ( Iákōbos ) , from Hebrew יַעֲקֹב ( ya‘ăqṓḇ , “ Jacob ” , literally “ he will/shall heel ” ) , from עָקֵב ( ‘āqḗḇ , “ heel ” ) and the Biblical account of the patriarch Jacob 's birth in Genesis 25:26 . Piecewise doublet of Saint James .
The Guan Yu sense among Chinese Filipinos in the Philippines is due to a syncretic association of the deified Chinese general with St. James , who are both known for their assertiveness and heroism, which non-Chinese and people in the Philippines like Jose Rizal during the 19th century first associated with and/or surmised the Chinese folk deities venerated by Chinese Filipinos on Chinese altars and prints with popular Christian or Muslim figures.[ 1]
