Sante Origin and Meaning

The name Sante is a boy's name meaning "saint".

Not quite so popular as its alternative forms, Santo, Santi, and Santino, nor as frequently used as the longer Santiago, this saintly Italian name has nevertheless been borne by classic painters, Sante Cattaneo, Sante Monachesi, and Sante Vandi. Coinciding (visually, at least) with the French word for "health", Sante might have been neglected owing to its connection to Sante Kimes, an American (female) criminal.
