San Diego is also Saint James, the Patron of Spain

[topher]

Then I could be wrong on that point. I assumed it was named after Juan Diego, since he is revered as being a part of this story.

[Dqban22]

You are mistaken, Santiago, St. James, is the patron Saint of Spain.

Saint Didacus of Alcalá, more familiar as San Diego, was a lay brother of the Order of Friars Minor who died at Alcalá de Henares, Spain, November 12, 1463.
