Appendix:Hiligaynon surnames

This appendix of Hiligaynon surnames is meant to complement the contents of Category:Hiligaynon surnames. This will focus generally on surnames in Hiligaynon-speaking regions or of Hiligaynon speakers.

For the purposes of this page, the regions used to determine which surnames will be included here are majority Hiligaynon-speaking provinces of Iloilo (including Iloilo City), Guimaras and Negros Occidental (including Bacolod) in the Visayas, and South Cotabato (including General Santos), Sultan Kudarat and North Cotabato in Mindanao.

For information about surnames in the Philippines, see Appendix:Filipino surnames.

Note: While surnames are not generally written with diacritics (excluding the tilde in Ñ), surnames from Spanish or in Spanish orthography are marked with accents according to Spanish spelling rules for etymological and pronunciation purposes. Others may be marked with diacritics following Hiligaynon rules.

Background edit

Many surnames by Hiligaynon come from the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos by Governor-General Narciso Clavería in 1849, whose majority of it are Spanish surnames, but also includes may surnames from Basque, Catalan, Galician, Chinese, Philippine languages (Tagalog, Kapampangan, Cebuano) and some foreign languages. The degree of implementation of the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos varied by province; in Iloilo, it was strictly enforced, resulting in many cities and towns where the inhabitants have a surname beginning with a particular letter (e.g. P in Passi). Hiligaynon-language surnames which are in the Catálogo can be found at Category:Hiligaynon surnames in the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos.

In addition to names from Spanish and other Iberian languages, there are also many indigenous Hiligaynon surnames.

Hiligaynon-speaking Filipino Chinese (usually from Fujian) usually have multiple-syllable surnames for those that came during the colonial era, usually those ending with -son/-zon (from Hokkien 孫／孙 (sun)); others kept them (and romanized them according to Spanish orthography) or adapted surnames borne by most Filipinos. Chinese migrants that arrived in the Philippines since the end of the colonial era usually have single-syllable surnames.

Indigenous surnames edit

While most Hiligaynon people (included assimilated migrants of other ethnic groups) have surnames from Spanish and other languages, there are also many surnames with indigenous roots. Most of these occur within Iloilo and Negros Occidental.

Surnames from other languages edit

Most other surnames by Hiligaynon speakers are from other languages, especially Spanish:

Spanish edit

Main article: :Category:Hiligaynon surnames from Spanish

Most Spanish-derived surnames are spelled as they are, except that acute accents are stripped off (Ñ is retained). There are many spelling variants, usually due to seseo in Philippine Spanish and the influence of Hiligaynon phonology.

Basque edit

Catalan edit

Galician edit

Chinese edit

Most of these are romanized according to their Hokkien (Min Nan) pronunciation. For each name, the equivalent Chinese character[s] are provided as well as their Mandarin form (based on Pinyin or Wade-Giles)

Multisyllabic

Tagalog edit

See also: Category: Tagalog surnames

Surnames from Tagalog are also common in Soccsksargen in Mindanao where they are borne by people of Tagalog origin whose ancestors migrated from Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Calabarzon, Marinduque and Mindoro to Mindanao from the late Spanish and American colonial periods and since postwar era seeking new and better life and various economic opportunities. Although of Tagalog origin, many Tagalogs, like any other ethnolinguistic groups from Luzon and Panay, had assimilated to the Hiligaynon-speaking majority in North Cotabato, South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, linguistically identifying themselves as Visayans.

Most common edit

Below is a list of the 50 most common surnames in each of the Hiligaynon-speaking provinces. Highly urbanized cities are also treated as province-level divisions. By region from north to south (Western Visayas, SOCCSKSARGEN), from most to least populous province.

Rankings listed are from regional individual surname data by Forebears, a genealogical and personal name database.
