You know you’re Filipino when lumpia (aka Filipino spring rolls) are a must-have at every potluck and you’ve got a knack for karaoke. But nothing is more important in Filipino culture than family, respect and being proud of where you come from. And if you’re expecting a precious baby boy, a unique Filipino name will have them beaming with Pinoy pride from day one!

The Philippines is a truly special place—but it isn’t just because of its pristine beaches, tropical landscapes and delicious adobo. Filipino boy names are some of the most distinct you’ll find, with a few on this list being super-creative mashups (like Jejomar—a combination of Jesus, Mary and Joseph) and others (like Joriz—short for Jose Rizal) as cool nicknames for longer monikers. Filipino baby boy names like Fernandez and Crisanto also borrow a lot of influence from Spanish tradition, but if you’re into more native styles, there are plenty inspired by phrases in Tagalog and other beautiful Philippine languages too.

Whether you welcome your new baby on the islands or abroad, the right Filipino boy name will always remind them of home. So raise your Philippine flag high—and your new baby with a love for their home nation (or favorite place!)—with these unbeatable selections.
