  1. @sim It is proper usage when in a commercial name or stage name, for example the wrestler "el santo" is called that, not just "santo", as it means "the saint". But it's not proper to call a person like that. It's common that uneducated people will talk of eachother adding "el" like for example "el Pedro me dijo que tu habías dejado el pueblo", but it's frowned upon in educated circles as the proper way is to use the name alone or with an honorific like "Pedro" or "Don Pedro"
