Santiago is a male name very common.

Santiago de Cuba.
Santiago, the capital of Chile, was founded in 1541 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia and named after Saint James (Santiago in Spanish), the patron saint of Spain. The city's full name is Santiago del Nuevo Extremo, which reflects its founding in the New World. The choice of name honored the Catholic heritage of the Spanish colonizers and aimed to establish a sense of legitimacy and continuity in the new territory.

The capital city of Chile is Santiago. (Santiago de Chile)
The translation of the English name "James" to "Santiago" in Spanish is due to the historical and linguistic evolution of names across different cultures. In this case, "Santiago" is the Spanish equivalent of "James" that has been traditionally used for centuries.
In my basic knowledge, it sounds more masculine than feminine. Even so, most names can be slightly altered to fit into either gender. In all, I think male or boy if I hear the name Santiago.
