I hope that makes sense and isn’t offensive or anything, I’m genuinely curious because I’ve tried googling it and haven’t found a lot. I’ve met a couple people recently where they have one or two first names and will have an additional either first or middle name(?) such as Salvacion, which sounds like the English word ‘salvation’. I assume this is a biblical thing, but the names sound more Spanish. I don’t know a lot about Filipino or Spanish culture nor their histories (religious or otherwise), could someone explain?

Using words as names is common in every culture.
It’s just that the names are often warped and changed over time, or in a foreign language so you don’t think of them that way.
Daniel for example is from the Hebrew meaning “God is my Judge”
Victor means Victor or Conquerer in Latin, Victoria is the female version.
Francois literally means ‘a frenchman’
Jiro in Japanese means ‘second son’
