Santo is the literal translation for Saint.
San used as a title before the name of the saint.

No. San is used as the followng, like part of a name,
"San Pedro......"
"Saint Peter"
and santo means the noun
"El es un santo"
"He's a saint"

We say San, if the name begins with a consonant, as in "San José"
and Santo, if it begins with a vowel, as in "Santo António"
