Philippine Name
Filipinos have various naming customs. They most commonly blend the older Spanish system and Anglo-American conventions, where there is a distinction between the "Christian name" and the "surname". The construct containing several middle names is common to all systems, but the multiple "first" names and only one middle and last name are a result of the blending of American and Spanish naming customs. Today, Filipinos usually abide by the Spanish system of using both maternal and paternal surnames. However, the Filipinos have transposed the Spanish latter (maternal) name to the American English system of using the maternal surname as a "middle name," and adopting the American English system of using the paternal surname as the formal "last name."
