Philippines Baby Names With Meanings

Filipino names are influenced by various cultures and have evolved over time. The naming customs in the Philippines blend the older Spanish system and Anglo-American conventions, where there is a distinction between the “Christian name” and the “surname”. The construct containing several middle names is common to all systems, but the multiple “first” names and only one middle and last name are a result of the blending of American and Spanish naming customs. Today, Filipinos usually abide by the Spanish system of using both paternal and maternal surnames, with the latter (maternal) used as the “middle name”. The particle “y” is used only for legal purposes and is otherwise dropped.

Filipino names can be derived from various sources such as nature, mythology, historical events, and indigenous languages spoken by the various ethnic groups in the Philippines
