Santos is a surname of Christian origin in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French languages. The English translation of Santos is Saints. A singular version, Santo, may be seen.

The dos Santos (English: 'of the saints') variation in Portugal and Galicia was commonly given to a baby born or baptised around All Saints’ Day. [1]

From the end of the Brazilian Empire and the abolition of slavery in Brazil, at the end of the nineteenth century, many former slaves in the province started to use the Santos surname as identification toponymic origin of the Bay of All Saints. An example is a slave who had no name, after the abolition became Manuel Santos, Manuel a common name in Portuguese-speaking countries and Santos to indicate that he was of Bahian origin. It was also a way to shorten the names of Brazilians, if it were not so would: Manuel da Bahia de Todos os Santos (en: Manuel of the Bay of All Saints).
