The Saju view
The opening of Santiago is a hissing, teeth-edge sound, the signature of metal in the pronunciation-element system. Names that sound like Santiago are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Santiago earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Santiago ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
