Filipino Baby Names
Filipino Baby Names have been influenced by Spain and Latin America due to the 400 years of Spanish colonial rule that began in the mid 1500’s.
You can see this influence in some of the more traditional names which have Spanish or Latin American roots.
Most of the names listed here are Tagalog in origin [Tagalog is one of the major languages spoken in the Phillipines], but some are Spanish.
Modern day parents in the Phillipines will often choose a Western name for their baby due to the influence of the media.
