If you're looking for a beautiful name that celebrates your and your little one’s Filipino heritage, consider Sampaguita. This feminine moniker means “jasmine flower,” as it’s the title given to the national flower of the Phillippines, the Arabian Jasmine. Ultimately, Sampaguita could derive from the Tagalog phrase s_umpa kita, meaning "I promise you," or the Spanish word _champaquita, meaning “champak flower.” Bringing to mind the concepts of honesty, loyalty, and nature appreciation, Sampaguita is an excellent option for your little blossom.
