This may be picky, but sometimes santa doesn’t mean saint. Santa is also a Spanish word for holy. So, the cities that translate to holy faith and holy cross aren’t really saint names for places.

Just out of curiosity, any reason why ‘Santa’ names weren’t included? Or did none of them make the list?
