Pahate
Origin:Filipino
Meaning:For sharing
Pahate is a girl’s name of Filipino origin. Coming from the Hiligaynon word pahat, meaning “share” or “divide,” it can be interpreted to mean “for sharing.” A little one who’s happy to share will always have plenty of friends, so this is a good trait to hope for in baby! Pahate, and the similar Pahati, are also surnames in the Philippines, though quite a rare one.
