Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources

Wiktionary explains Tiago as a back-formation from Santiago ('Saint James'), reread as São Tiago. It is the Portuguese equivalent of James, the same name as Jacob (the prophet Ya'qub), but the form itself comes from the saint's title, so it is counted as a name of another religion. No source read rules on the name; a scholar's call.
