[sanˈtjaɣo ðekomposˈtɛlɐ]

Etymology

Santiago from Latin Sanctus Iacobus, "Saint James". Compostela, attested as Conpostella in 966, from Latin compositella, diminutive of compositus (“ordered, arranged”), meaning "the (well) composed little one" vel sim. A common incorrect etymology derives from the purported campus stellae or field of stars, leading to names such as campo de estrellas in Spanish.
