Dago

Dago is a name with both American and Spanish origins. As an American name, the meaning of Dago is ‘teaching’. While in Spanish, the meaning of Dago is 'one who supplants.' Dago is frequently used for the male gender. The name 'dago' comes from the word 'Diego', a Spanish name which means 'James'. It was supposed to be an American English slang term originated in the 17th century by British seamen to refer to Portuguese or Spanish people, particularly sailors. It was defined as a person born of Portuguese or Spanish parentage. Despite its Hispanic origins, the word 'dago' became more widely used in the United States, particularly in New Orleans, in the nineteenth century; it was also used by Portuguese or Spanish sailors on English or American ships to refer to Italians, due to the enormous immigration from that nation. However, it is also used to refer to Spanish or Portuguese people. By 1900, it had expanded to encompass non-sailors and had come to refer primarily to Italians. People named Dago are generally thought to be successful, imaginative, spiritual, humanistic, creative, helpful, selfless, idealistic, dedicated, and passionate.
