There are no words for Santos, it is done by the sound san, and tos. Go to a restauran t or a Chinese speaker and writer and ask them how do you write Santos, two sounds, san, tos, Tell them it is a name, so they pcik two characters that have a good meaning. For example, in Mandarin Chinese, San, could mean three, a boring meaning, and a simple character, it also could mean umbrella, so don't use that character, further, some Chinese words are created by two Characters, like santou, which is as close to Santo as you will get, means to drop in by parachute. So, you could get characters that just go by the sound only, it doesnt have to encorporate the meaning.
Rock on.
