Juan diego

Juan diego Origin and Meaning

The name Juan diego is a boy's name.

Juan Diego is a masculine compound name combining two beloved Spanish names. Juan derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious,' while Diego evolved from Santiago (St. James) with roots in the Hebrew name Ya'akov. This name gained significant prominence through Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, the indigenous Mexican to whom the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared in 1531. This historical and religious significance makes the name especially meaningful in Catholic and Hispanic communities. Juan Diego conveys strength, faith, and cultural heritage, remaining consistently popular in Spanish-speaking countries and communities. The compound structure offers versatility, as the bearer might go by both names together or choose either Juan or Diego individually depending on preference.
