why are are Filipino names often words?

288 views

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?

You do realize that it is the same in the English language too right? How many times have you come across a woman named Hope, Faith, etc.? How many Peter, Matt, John, or Jerry have you met?
