Los filólogos consideran que el nombre actual de Santander proviene del nombre de San Emeterio (Sancti Emetherii > Sancti Emderii > Sanct Endere > San Andero > Santendere > Santanderio > Santander es una secuencia generalmente aceptada, aunque los saltos fonéticos propuestos no estén muy claros). Parece más razonable pensar que venga sencillamente de "Sanct Ander": San Andrés. Wikipedia - so the name seems to be derived from 'Saint Andrew'
