History & Origin
Juandiego is a compound of Juan — the Spanish John, from Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious' — and Diego, linked to Santiago/James, ultimately Hebrew Yaakov, 'supplanter'. A devout, melodic Latino double name, honoring St Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, to whom Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared (said 'hwahn-dee-EH-goh'; often written Juan Diego).
In the U.S. it appears in Mexican/Latino families. Rare, gracious-and-St-James at the root, and devout.
