Our generated misspelling index lists 11 likely wrong-spelling variants for Santiago, with forms such as "asntiago", "sanitago", and "sanntiago". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. Our dataset records no confusable match here, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
