The Styles of Filipino Names
Filipino names are a beautiful blend of indigenous heritage and centuries of cultural exchange. Our generator celebrates this diversity.
Clásico (Classic)
These are traditional Spanish names that became common during the Spanish colonial period. They are timeless, elegant, and deeply rooted in Filipino history (e.g., Juan, Maria, Jose, Isabela).
Katutubo (Indigenous)
These names are derived from native languages like Tagalog. They often refer to concepts in nature, virtues, or mythology, reflecting the Philippines' pre-colonial culture (e.g., Makisig, Tala, Bayani, Dalisay).
Moderno (Modern)
These names reflect global trends and modern sensibilities. They often include anglicized names, creative spellings, or names that have become popular in recent decades (e.g., Jayden, Sophia, Kyle, Althea).

Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers to common questions about Filipino names and our generator.
Why are so many Filipino names Spanish?
The Philippines was a Spanish colony for over 300 years (1565-1898). During this time, Spanish culture, religion (Catholicism), and language heavily influenced Filipino society. The Clason-Rizal Decree of 1849 mandated that Filipinos adopt standardized Spanish surnames, which is why names like "dela Cruz," "Santos," and "Garcia" are so common today.
Are "Katutubo" names still common?
In recent years, there has been a wonderful resurgence in the popularity of indigenous names as Filipinos connect with and celebrate their pre-colonial heritage. Names like Tala (star), Alon (wave), and Mayumi (gentle) are becoming increasingly popular for newborns.
