Kan-Laon

If you wish to pay homage to baby’s ancestry with a name honoring Philippine mythology, you may have just found the one. Kan-Laon is a masculine name of Filipino origin, belonging to an active volcano and the so-called “home of the gods and goddesses.” Mount Kanlaon, located on the island of Negros, is the largest stratovolcano in The Philippines. The Visayan gods and goddesses were believed to dwell there, with Laon, the creator goddess, acting as the supreme deity. Naming your little one Kan-Laon could be a lovely way to celebrate the mythological story of Mount Kanlaon and remind them of their inner power.
