Definition

“St” is a written abbreviation, most commonly for “Street” in addresses or “Saint” in names. The meaning depends on the context where you see it.

Usage & Nuances

Usually appears in writing, not speech. In addresses, “St” often means “Street”; in names like “St Paul,” it means “Saint.” Be careful not to confuse it with “St.” as a title and “st” in ordinal endings like “1st,” which is a different use.
