Filipino Names
DKESSEL
I would like to point out about the unique western names in RP..especially
those of ladies...the guy's names seem to be eith ordinary English or
Spanish...I am not talking about native names...
For example, names such as Ro-Ann, Erlinda, Liezl, and Lielana (I think) are
unique to RP...for I have never seen such names anywhere else...
Also, as far as the Hispanic surnnames...they seem to be a bit different
from "other" Hispanic countries...
For example..if you go to ,say, Puerto Rico, there will be about a 100
names...
most of then Gomez, Lopez, Rodrigiez, etc...
In RP I have seen really unique surnames...they sound Hispanic but at the
same time..I have never encountered them while working with the "real"
Hispanic people...
Any comments are welcome

Okay here goes:
Yeah i noticed some very peculiar Pinoy style names...
First names:
Roel, Arnel, Darnell, Romy, Boy
(KOMBOH Names)-----> Johnray, Joemar, Marikris
Jocelyn, Monticello, Butch, Baby, Lotlot, Pepsi
Last names:
("Cion" List) Purificacion, Resurrecion, Consolacion, Encarnacion,
Constipacion, Masturbacion, Assimilacion, Fornicacion,
Emancipacion-Proclamacion
Edwin "AZMIKA" Azmicacion
DKESSEL
He-he-he...
First time in RP one lady introduced herself to me;
She said "Hi I am Baby,"
I answered " Hi I am "Adult"
....Why would a lady be called a "Boy"? Are there guys called : a "Girl"
But there is a name : "Gerly". Where and how did these names originate?
Could they be from some movies? Nicknames of some favorite actors/actresses?
Also, there are very few names in Latin America that end in -cion...
Was it different Spaniards that colonised the place?
Did they use a different "lista de apellidos"?

One thing that is very common amongst Filipinos, when naming their children, is
to combine parts of the parents first names. For example, the name that you
mentioned, Ro-Ann, may be a combination of Roland and Anna. Another example is
my name. My father is named Jimmy and my mother is Milagros. Hence my name,
Jimil. J-I-M from my dad and I-L from my mom. I'm sure there are other
reasons of the "unique" first names but this one comes across to me as one of
the big factors.
As for surnames, I'm afraid I don't know too much on that.
Cheers.

And all the while I thought the family name Mendiola
was hispanic. It turned out not to be. So I could
only surmise that it is a corruption of a chinese
name Minh Chu Lah.
Majority of the Filipinos have chinese blood more than
hispanic due to the migration/commerce interaction long
before Magellan's arrival. Typical are the following
which are corruptions of original chinese names: Sison
(Sy Sung), Quezon (Keh Son) Quimson (Kim Sun), Quisumbing
(Kim Sun Binh), Cojuangco (Koh Huang Koh), Tanseco (Tan
Seh Ko), Tambunting (Tan Bunh Teng), Tambucho (ooops)....

One property of some Filipino names seems to be the combination of other
proper names like Luzviminda (Luzon-Visayas-Mindanao) or parents names
like Rodmar (Rodrigo & Maria).
Plus, I can't help but mention the uniqueness of the name "Mari*el"
where * can take on almost any letter of the alphabet (Maribel, Maricel,
Maridel, Mariel, Marifel.....Marizel).

Yes, but when you consider surnames of people from Spain or South
America, you'll find a wealth of other Spanish names, not just the ones
you mentioned. This is due primarily to the Spanish colonization of the
Philippines.

Liezel sounds Scandinavian to me. Kinda like Heidi (which is also not
uncommon in the Philippines.) Comes from the mish-mash of American
influence, I bet.

The Hispanic surnames of course come from the time when, while under
Spanish rule, the Filipinos were ordered to choose a surname and stick
with it. Many surnames in the book were of Spanish origin, e.g.
Reyes, Gomez, Zamora, etc.

I think *your* name may be a corruption but I know Latin Americans with that
family name (Spanish).

it's the German diminutive for Lisa (Liese), which comes from Elizabeth. own of
the kids in 'The Sound of Music' was a Liesl - perhaps it came from that?

yeah, but he's asking why so many Filipino surnames are
so...unusual....gloriously evocative - as opposed to Garcia, Gomez, Hernandez,
etc.! Like Urdaneta, Legazpi, Mondragon, Pagela (lola), Fagela (another lola) -
my mother's name is Arquero and I haven't found any other Arqueros from Spain or
South America.
Or what about Rizal? I haven't heard that outside the Philippines.
Only in the Philippines, it seems, do we see names like Imaculata Paz. You know,
those Marian names that have gone out of style everywhere else, it seems....

Actually the names Jocelyn and Butch are not uniquely Filipino. I had an
Afro-American co-worker once with the name Jocelyn.

My surname "Thor", I've been told, was originally "Toreador." I guess I had
Spanish bullfighting ancestors.
Sadly, some dumbarse ascendant had a lisp and couldn't spell. So it became
"Thor".

I was led to believe that, early during the Spanish occupation Filipinos
had only a single name (ie no 'family' name).
The Spanish then decreed that all 'natives' must select a name from a
list provided by the occupation government. Broadly speaking, the choice
was restricted alphabetically to good old Spanish names (properly
Christian and all that, rather than the 'witch doctor' mumbo jumbo of
the locals, don't y'know old chap), depending on which part of the
country one came from.
Thus, for example, new surnames beginning with 'A' to 'C' (Alvarez,
Concepcion etc) would come from the north - Ilocos, Cagayan etc - with
'W', 'X', 'Y' and 'Z ' from the south (Southern Mindanao). The idea was
to keep tabs on the unruly blighters!
My wife's family name begins with 'L' and she is from Samar, so that
kinda fits.
I'd be interested if anyone can confirm this explanation, or even expand
on the information.

"Erlinda" is truly Filipino. Liezl is Austrian, Lielana
is Hawaiian. But remember, Filipinos have the penchant
in changing spelling , deviating from the standard, presumably
to produce an effect which most of the time, sad to say , is
in bad taste.

Not quite. Many (most, according to the parish records) had two names,
or even three. Unfortunately -- from an administrative viewpoint -- in
many cases none of these was a proper 'family' name, in the sense that
parents and children shared it. So you could have Juan Francisco
married to Maria Clara and their children might be Tomas San Carlos and
Maria Candelaria. You also had people changing their name frequently,
so that Juan Francisco may also show up as Juan San Francisco, and/or
Francisco San Juan, and maybe Juan Santos or Juan Salvador ...
Obviously it didn't confuse the Filipinos themselves -- they clearly
knew who they were -- but it did confuse the government (and potentially
the church, which was trying to make certain cousins didn't marry each
other within certain degrees of consanguinity).

Not really. The Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos, issued in 1849 (I
have a copy of the 1973 reprint) included *tens of thousands* of
Filipino names as well as Spanish ones -- I suspect actually more,
though so far as I know no one has ever counted. (There are about
70,000 names listed, I would estimate) Priests were asked to supply
names of plants, etc., in local dialects to be used.
Opening at random I find: bapa, bapul, bapuyos, baquerin, baqueriza,
baquero, baqueros, baquiano, baqui, baquiao, baquillas ... and so forth,
nearly 500 names a page.
The only restrictions were on the names of actual Spanish nobility
(can't have "indios" passing themselves off as hidalgos) and a few
extremely common names (e.g., de los Santos), which wouldn't solve the
problem of administrative confusion.

Not exactly. Each provincial governor was -- as best I can figure it
out -- given the complete "Catalogo" and told to go sort out everyone in
the province, to make sure they all had proper family names, with the
children having the same name as their father, and no unnecessary
duplication, etc. The implementation of this varied widely.
In some provinces, apparently they didn't much bother at all. In some
(e.g., Camarines) each town would get a sprinkling of new names,
presumably selected or assigned from the whole list. In others (e.g.,
Albay), they apparently worked alphabetically through the list (maybe
they tore out pages?) so that all (or almost all) the new names in one
town would begin with A, the next B, the next C, and so forth. Oas was
nearly all "R," so jokingly they would, in the 20th century, claim
people like Rizal and Roosevelt -- must be from Oas, just look at the
family name!
The idea was to keep tabs on the unruly blighters!
Absolutely right. That's what it was all about.

Coincidence, at least in the archipelago-wide framework. I'd be
interested as to whether her townmates mostly have/had last names
beginnings with L also.

I've tried to do so. I should point out that there were also a few
families which had pretty much settled on a "family" name beforehand and
kept it after 1849, in apparent defiance of the decree. As always, in
the Spanish Philippines, there was a huge gap between policy and
reality.
Most of the information here can be found in the introduction to the
1973 Catalogo, which is nominally by Domingo Abella (though I was
actually the "ghost-writer"). On the incomplete implementation, the
best source is the parish records from before and after 1849, wherein
you can (sometimes) find the actual shifts: Maria Oldname becomes (for
a few years) Maria Newname Oldname becomes (eventually) Maria Newname.
Hope this helps.

If you can prove that your family had been using the same last name for
three generations, you were allowed to keep it whether it was a local
name (allowed anyway and listed in the catálogo) or the name of a saint
(frowned upon, normally).
Sulaiman, et al were restricted in their use since the very beginning to
the descendants of those royal people. This is because they had special
privileges with regards to taxes and other matters guarranteed by the
Spanish regime.

years after the conquest, so powerful datus of the 16th century would
not necessarily have been still acknowledged by the Spanish (but see
below for a very few families). On the other hand, such families may
simply have had a greater interest in preserving a "family" name, which
would have suited the Spanish fine. As noted, the decree was *not* in
general designed to force Filipinos to give up indigenous names, simply
to make sure that they could be identified by "proper" surnames, of
whatever origin.

The major exception to this was names "like de la Cruz, de los Santos,
and some others which are so numerous that they would continue producing
confusion." But the number of Filipinos still named (de la) Cruz or
indeed (de la) Santos (thank you, Hector!) indicates how imperfectly
this was implemented.

The decree specifies (article 8): "To avoid confusion which might
result to the prejudice of those who with their surnames inherited from
His Majesty certain benefits, the names of Lacandola, Mojica, Tupas, and
Raja Matanda shall not be adoped except by those who have a just title
to possess them."

hey azmik. speaking of filipino names, yours isn't really traditional
pinoy name. sound's more like that of a gangsta (not that there aren't
any pinoy crips, i know there are) ;) what's the background behind
azmik, the name?

"Azmik" is the name they gave me when they "jumped me in" the Ese Te Ese

It is my the name I used to scrawl all over the place growing up in the (San
Fernando) Valley. I am way past my tagging days of hitting up freeway
signs, handball courts, everything. Pretty spacey huh? Here are more Pinoy
gang sounding names:
KEEBLER (Real Pinoy Brothers)
SAD BOY (Scout Royal Brotherhood)
I didn't know my name sounded gang like...

....oh back in the days 1987-1990 it was such a rush to go out at night and
go all city. i would make my mind up and not sleep unless i went out
there....some of my high school buddies did drugs, others were into sex,
others into fighting, i was the lone tagger!

--------------no, i was never a member of a gang....we had our own barkada,
but we never beat anyone up......well, no one else but myself was punking
down people for trying to dog me. when did i harass AC? Is this in
reference to my wearing of baggy Tommy Hilfiger clothing/defending baggy
clothing wearing Pinoys?

tubby,
in america, tattoos are pretty much mainstream. when you come to the bay
area, have rhett show you 'round telegraph avenue in berkeley - and
check out those tattoo/smoke shops. get a 'teardrop' tattoo right under
your eye. and while you're at it, get something pierced too. no
pingpong shows over here though.

"Boy" is used - usually as a nickname - among different ethnic groups
in Hawai`i. Maybe this came from Filipino influence.

Tipitips,
Napansin kong ang mga poste mo iyong petsa ay sobrang advance. Bakit, are
you posting from the future? Do you have a time machine? Kung meron, dalhin
mo naman sa picnic.

How about a last name that has a different meaning from other dialect? These
are examples that make the Cebuanos laugh.
Ampo - it means surrender or quit
Bayaga- sounds like testicle
Bayot - bakla or Homosexual
Baluyot - A sack
Catacutan - it means ugly
Catamaran (Italian?) - Lazy
Dimaporo - it means hindi "pure"
Macaluso (Italian) - Mahilig sa titi
Pascua - lagi na lang pasko
Susumo (Japanese) - Suso mo
Tariki (sounds hawaian) - it means sexual intercourse
Vhadiaynha (Hindi) - ano pa ba sa pakinig ninyo?

I think it's Hollywood, Tarzan's kid named "Boy". As a nickname is probably
Filipino but origin is Hollywood.
