Apparently, Christianization worked
Apelyidong Pilipino
(Catalog of Filipino Names)

One of the more obvious marks left by
Spanish rule in the Philippines is the
prevalence of Hispanic surnames
among Christianized Filipinos. Those
who lived in remote areas and were not
subjugated escaped this fate. Many
people in the mountain areas of Luzon,
Mindanao, Mindoro, Palawan, and
other places retained their way of life,
their culture, and their way of naming
themselves. Thus, a Yam-ay in
Mindoro today does not have a name
like Claudette Villanueva as would
probably have been the case had she
lived among the conquered people.
Before the Spaniards arrived, a person's
second (family, not middle) name was
usually taken from one of his children.
Thus, Timbô who had a son named
Pitík was known as Timbô, amá ni
Pitík. Compare this with the Western
custom of sons taking their names from
their fathers like Peter, son of John, or
Peter Johnson. Sometimes, a physical
feature was used to describe a person
like Pitong Kirat for a certain Pito who
only had one good eye.
Many early Christianized Filipinos
named themselves after the saints so
much so that it caused consternation
among the Spanish authorities.
much too well and there were soon too
many Santoses, San Joses, San
Antonios, and San Buenaventuras to
suit those in power. They were forced
to change their last names unless they
could prove that their family had been
using it for several generations.
Another unacceptable custom was that
siblings took on different last names
like they had always done before the
Spaniards came. All these "problems"
resulted in a less efficient system of
collecting taxes.
And so, on November 21, 1849
Governor General Narciso Clavería
ordered a systematic distribution of
family names for the natives to use.
The Catalogo Alfabetico de
Apellidos was produced and approved
names were assigned to families in all
towns. Name distribution was so
systematic that civil servants assigned
family names in alphabetical order
causing some small towns with only a
few families to end up with all names
starting with the same letter. (This
interesting situation remained until
fairly recent times when people became
more mobile and started seeking mates
from other towns.)
One result of the Hispanization of
Filipino names was the change in the
way traditional names (placenames,
too) were pronounced. Since Hispanic
names were just sounds that didn't
mean much, names like "Dimalantá"
became "Dimalanta" (the accent
shifting to the penultimate syllable) and Abayari
Abeya
"Julag-ay" became "Júlagay" (the BIBAK
accent shifting from the penultimate to Abiad
the first and the glottal catch Abinsay
Ilocano
disappearing). This tended to hide the Abiog
meanings of the names and made them (abyog) swinging
Tagalog
more of an abstract entity just like Ablang
Hispanic names. At the same time, the Ablasa
new pronunciation sounded more Ablog
Ilocano
Hispanic and this step completed the Abog sudden
transformation of some families, at Tagalog
least in their own minds, to an erzats about to be
born Tagalog
class of pseudo-Spaniards. Abuan
Abucajo
This list has brought about many Abucay
Abueg
interesting emails with more names and Abut (Abot)
stories about their origins. Most were Abutin to
reach Tagalog
proud to have real Filipino names Abuyen
unlike the majority of us who have Acas to
Hispanic surnames. However, one took gather Ilocano
Acda author
exception to having his name, Agulto, Aclan from Aklan
listed as an indigenous Filipino name. Acob
He claimed he was a Filipino whose Acolola
Acop
ancestors were Sheppardic Jews from
Spain and he found it offensive for his BIBAK
Acot
name to be called truly Filipino. Of Ilocano
course, I immediately removed Agulto Acpal
from this list. Acupan

word is Spanish in origin Angangco
Angpauco
Angtuaco
Many modern-day Chinese Filipinos Chanchinco
have traditional names with one Chichioco
Chincuanco
syllable like Lim, Tan, Sy, and so on. Chipeco
However, early Chinese Filipino Chuachiaco
Chuapoco
families took on the complete name of Chuaquico
their patriarch, thus their names had Chuatoco
three syllables. These are truly Filipino Ciciongco
Cojuangco (patriarch was Co Chi
surnames and don't exist anywhere else Kuan)
in the world. Their names were Cojunco
transcribed using Spanish orthography Colayco
Consunji
in effect during the 19th century. Copiaco
Coseteng
If you are wondering why so many Cosico
Cucueco
names end in -co and -ko, it is Cutiongco
because co was a title of respect given Cuyegkeng
to someone like an elder, or an older Dinglasan?
Diyakson
brother. However, Co was also a valid Doratan
name so that it would be hard to say Dy-Buncio
Dycaico
whether the "Co" in the name was part Dyliaco
of the original Chinese name or was an Dypiangco
honorific. Generally speaking, if it is at Dyquiangco
Dysangco
the end it would have been an Gandionco
honorific. Gochoco
Goduco
Gokongwei
An example of this is Cojuangco. Their Golamco
patriarch was Co Chi Kuan, who was Golangco

Simsuangco

names with only two syllables. How
did they originate? Did the family Goking
Gosoc
simply drop of of their patriarch's given Gosum
names? Why do the names ending in - Gozon (5th grandson)
son and -zon come mostly from Guanlao
Guanzon
Pampanga? Was this because many of Guiao
them moved to Pampanga after the Henson
Hizon
Chinese were massacred in Manila Ison
during the early days of Spanish rule? Jante (from Te-Han)

According to Weedy Tan (from Jocson
Manila), some Northern Chinese had Joson
two-syllable family names. It is Junco

possible that a few of the names below Kison (Quison)
