覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Diego はスペイン語圏で広く使われる男性名で、英語文中でも翻訳せず Diego のまま用います。文頭以外でも頭文字を大文字にし、Diego is ...、call Diego、Diego works ... のように普通の人名と同じ位置に置きます。San Diego では San が「聖」を表すことも併せて覚えると定着します。
Remember Diego as a person’s name, not as a common noun that needs translation. In an English sentence, it fits wherever another given name would fit: Diego is my friend, I called Diego, or Diego works here. Always capitalize the initial D, even when the name is not at the beginning of the sentence. The place name San Diego offers another useful connection: Spanish San means “Saint,” so the full name has the sense “Saint Diego.” This association can help you recognize both the spelling and the Spanish-speaking context.
例文
Diego is my friend.
ディエゴは私の友だちです。

私は今朝ディエゴに電話しました。
Diego works at a small cafe.
ディエゴは小さなカフェで働いています。

diego の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スペイン語の男性名。聖ヤコブを意味するラテン語Jacobusがスペイン語でSantiago（Sant-Iago）となり、Iagoが独立してDiegoに変化した。英語のJamesと同語源。地名San Diegoは「聖ディエゴ」の意味。
Diego is a Spanish masculine given name. It has traditionally been associated with Iago and Santiago, the latter historically analyzed as Sant Iago, “Saint James.” These names are connected with Latin Iacobus or Jacobus, also the source behind English James. The precise historical development of Diego has been debated, so the traditional relationship should not be treated as a completely certain sequence of sound changes. San Diego literally preserves the title “Saint Diego.”
