Visaya
Origin:Filipino
Other Origin(s):Filipino
Meaning:From Visayas; Excellence
Visaya is quite a powerful Filipino name that may be gender-neutral thanks to its origin as a last name, linked to the Visayan islands that make up the Philippine archipelago. Visaya is a variant of Bisaya, meaning "from Visayas," and refers to the people, the food, the culture, and the region's very essence of life. Perhaps being rooted in an island group rich in cultural diversity, natural beauty, and folklore is all the prosperity baby Visaya will need—and who can argue with that?
