Santi is Santi, Not Santo Anymore
By Jim Shearer on 02/13/2009

Her birth name is Santi White, her stage name was Santogold, and if you go to her MySpace page (and a bunch of blogs on the internet today), you'll see that Santogold has changed her name to Santigold.
(left: "O" before "G," except after you get sued.)
Last year, as reported by Stereogum, Santogold was taken to court by the performer Santo Gold. I'm sure this has a lot to do with the name change.
Being that her real name is Santi anyway, Santigold's lucky she only had to tweak a letter instead of adding a year or some type of odd-ball abbreviation to the end of her name. (Isn't that right Charlatans UK, Death From Above 1979, or Ambulance Ltd.?)
