Sancto is either dative or ablative masculine or neuter singular of the adjective sanctus, -a, -um. It means saint or holy. So it can mean: for the holy one, to the holy one, by the holy one, from the holy one...

The Latin word sanctu, if legitimate, is a form of the verb sancire, which means "to confirm; to ordain". This specific form ending in -u, known as the "second supine", is of very limited use; basically, it specifies the conditions under which an adjective applies, as in mirabile dictu, "marvelous to tell", or "marvelous in the telling".

It's more likely that sanctu is an error for sancto in such a phrase as cum Spiritu Sancto, "with the Holy Spirit" (where the -u ending on Spiritu is correct, because Spiritus is a fourth-declension noun).

All by itself, the most likely meaning of sanctis is probably "to the saints." But depending on context there are many other meanings it could have.

Sanctis is a form of the Latin adjective sanctus, which means "holy." Like other Latin adjectives, sanctus can be used either to modify a noun, as in, for example, the phrase Spiritui Sancto ("to the Holy Spirit"), or it can act as a noun all by itself: sanctum, "a holy thing"; sanctusor sancta, "a holy man/woman; a saint."

The specific form sanctis is either dative plural or ablative plural, any gender. The dative case is used for indirect objects or beneficiaries: "to/for the holy " or "to/for the saints." The ablative is usually, but not invariably, used after a preposition such as in "in"; a, de or ex "from"; cum "with"; and so on.
