Meaning & origin
Deigo is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1987. Its peak year was 2005, when it saw its highest level of usage, though it has never been among the most popular names. The trajectory is stable, meaning its usage has shown little fluctuation in recent years. As a variant of the well-known Spanish name Diego, Deigo carries a similar sound and style, though it remains an uncommon choice. No top states have been associated with the name, reflecting its sporadic use across the country.
Deigo appears to be a variant or misspelling of Diego, the Spanish form of James. Diego itself derives from the Spanish name Santiago, which comes from the Latin Sanctus Iacobus (Saint James). The name Deigo, with its altered spelling, has seen occasional use in the United States since the late 1980s, likely as a creative respelling of Diego.
