What is the meaning of the name Santi ?

The baby name Santi is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish/Italian: ˈsanti (SAHN-tee),English: ˈsæn.ti (SAN-tee).

Santi is Indonesian, Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Santi is a cross-cultural given name with two principal roots. In Spanish and Catalan it is a familiar short form of Santiago, literally “Saint James” (from Latin Iacobus via Sant Iago). In Italian, Santi functions as a given name and a widespread surname meaning “saints,” the plural of santo. A separate lineage appears in South and Southeast Asia: Thai and other Buddhist contexts use Santi from Pali/Sanskrit śānti, “peace, tranquility.”

As a nickname for Santiago, Santi has circulated for centuries and has increasingly stood on its own in Spain and Latin America since the late 20th century. Italian usage is older in surnames but also present as a forename. Related and variant forms include Santy, Santiago, Santo, Santino, and Santos; Portuguese Tiago is a close relative. Cognates tied to the James/Jacob family include Jaime and James. In Sanskrit contexts, the variant Shanti is common.
