In the Yoruba religion, Oshosi is the deity associated with Saint James the Greater in Santiago de Cuba. Oshosi is also associated with Saint Albert the Great and Saint Norbert in the practice of Santería. Oshosi is the owner of the bow and arrow, and everything related to hunting.

Santiago, (also San Iago, San Tiago, Santyago, Sant-Yago, San Thiago) is a Spanish name that derives from the Hebrew name Jacob (Ya'akov) via “Sant Iago”, “Sant Yago”, “Santo Iago”, or “Santo Yago”, first used to denote Saint James the Great, the brother of John the Apostle. It was also the tradition that Saint James (Santiago) had traveled to the Iberian Peninsula during his life and was buried there. The name is also complicated in Spanish in that Jaime and Jacobo are modern versions of James.
