William Beckett has explained the origin of Santi and how it came to be the album title in an Australian music magazine "Blunt" in the following story: "Adam and I went to the same high school, and there was this dude named Josh Santiago who we went to school with. I was doing a solo project at the time, and i was listening to different music than most people - stuff like The Get Up Kids, The Promise Ring and Jimmy Eat World - and people there just didn't get me or what i was like. So this one guy in particular, Josh Santiago, gave me a hell of a time, like busted my chops and called me negative names like "***" and stuff. Anyway, he had a Dave Matthews cover band called Santi, because his name was Santiago and he's just that kind of guy. So we started saying Santi as everything that wasn't him - everything that was positive, just because he was such a negative dude and such a terrible person. So we started saying santi as something funny or cool, kinda like "cheers" or we say it as a greeting, like, 'Whats up, Santi?' So it's a word we've been using for a long time and when it came time to name the record we listened to it and went like, 'Santi!' - it always had to be the name."
